Solution
Peptides:
They are naturally occurring short chains of amino acids (2-50 amino acids).
Amino acids are connected via amide bonds.
They include hormones, antibiotics, etc.
Examples of peptide hormones- are insulin, glucagon, etc.
Examples of peptide antibiotics- are colistin, actinomycin, etc.
They are formed by the transcription of genetic codes(DNA sequence).
Also, larger proteins break down to form peptides.
For example- milk peptides are formed by the digestion of Casein protein.
Fat loss:
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) enhances the utilization of fat by stimulating triglyceride breakdown
and oxidation in adipocytes.
HGH injections are considered to be the best peptide for fat loss because they are known to reduce fat storage and promote muscle growth.
It also inhibits Lipoprotein Lipase(LPL).
It is present on the cell surface, lining blood capillaries in adipose tissues and muscle.
LPL is an enzyme that delivers fatty acids to adipose tissues for fat storage.
