[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]So im going to be clearing up some questions i know have been being asked. Here's brief overview of what peptides are, where and how they work etc...Ive tried to be basic as possible, so NukNuk, i hope this work like it did for you...I will be posting cjc info next....IGF is well understood and beat to death so we'll skip that one

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Peptides. What, Where, and How[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Peptides are the latest advancement in performance enhancement in regards to athletics. Peptides also improve one’s quality of life by improving sleep, increasing lean body mass, reducing body fat, and a variety of other benefits. The following is a brief synopsis of peptides and the most commonly asked questions. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]What Are Peptides?[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Peptides short chains or sequences of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Peptides are distinguished from proteins and hormones by size of the chain. Most peptides are less than 50 units in length. Every peptide has two ends except for cyclic peptides. These ends are termed the N-terminus and C-terminus residues. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Proteins are long chains of 1 or more polypeptides arranged to have a biological function. These proteins are often bound to cofactors or other proteins.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Types of Peptides[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Peptides are classified according to how they are produced. The major classes of peptides are:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Milk Peptides[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Ribosomal Peptides (most common in humans)[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Nonribosomal Peptides[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Fragmented Peptides[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Milk peptides are formed by lactobacilli during fermentation of milk. Some of these peptides have marked antihypertensive effect and are also known as lactotripeptides.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Ribosomal Peptides are formed through the translation of mRNA in the human body. Ribosomal peptides my function as hormones, signaling molecules, or even antibiotics in higher organisms.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Nonribosomal Peptides are formed by specific enzymes rather than ribosomes. An example in humans would be glutathione, an antioxidant found in most aerobic organisms. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Fragmented Peptides refer to fragments of proteins that scientists use to identify other proteins. These peptides are used for forensic, research, or pale ontological purposes.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Where Are Peptides Found in the Body?[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Everywhere! Peptides, like proteins, are synthesized in our cells from amino acids in accordance with the mRNA template which is from our cell’s DNA. These peptides, once formed, make become proteins or peptide hormones. Peptide hormones then undergo a maturation process before being released into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, they travel to all of our body’s cells, where they interact with specific receptors on the surfaces of our cells. This interaction allows them to exert their effects. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Examples of Peptide Hormones[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Several hormonal pathways are stimulated by peptide hormones. For instance, the anterior pituitary gland secrets prolactin, which signals the mammary gland to secrete ACTH, which causes the adrenal cortex to regulate the secretion of Growth Hormone. This example is just one of the many in the human body. Other notable peptide hormones are:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Angiotensin II[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Vasopressin[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Oxytocin[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP)[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Insulin[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Gastrin[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leptin[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]How Can I Use Peptides?[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Pharmaceutical companies are researching heavily in this area as we speak. Peptides look promising for many of life’s ailments. Peptides may be used to reduce the effects of aging. To increase athletic performance. To reduce brain and heart damage during strokes or heart attacks. John Hopkins University is working with peptides to reduce obesity and the associated co morbidities. You can even get peptides to increase your own Growth Hormone levels, lose weight, or darken your skin without tanning. These peptides are available online as we speak.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]What to Look for in Peptides[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Read and see if they are research or receptor grade. Receptor or pharmaceutical grade is the highest purity and quality. No one should ever use research grade. The human body needs receptor grade to properly utilize the peptides since they bind to specific receptors.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Lastly, there’s price. Online companies that sell peptides for $6-$20 are selling you research grade material, despite what they say. The old adage in life is true with peptides, you get what you pay for. Don’t waste time or effort with subpar products.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Please do your research accordingly, with any company you may choose. [/FONT]
