We've seen research teams assume 50/50 distribution when the actual ratio was 60/40
Unlike MT-1 10mg (Afamelanotide), which is selective for MC1R, MT-2 is a non-selective melanocortin agonist activating four receptor subtypes simultaneously: MC1R (melanocytes, pigmentation research), MC3R (immune modulation and energy balance research), MC4R (energy homeostasis and appetite regulation research), and MC5R (exocrine gland secretion research)
Patients may lose weight on the scale while also losing muscle mass if nutrition and strength training are neglected
