From the PeptideBase research library. Educational only — not medical advice.
Studied effects
- cardiovascular protection
- anti-fibrotic
- vasodilation
- insulin sensitivity
- kidney protection
Mechanism
Binds Mas receptor (MasR), activating nitric oxide synthase and reducing oxidative stress. Opposes TGF-β and angiotensin II signaling to reduce fibrosis. Enhances insulin sensitivity and provides cardiovascular protection.
