SS-31 1 min read January 28, 2026

Studies show SS-31 can reduce cell death due to oxygen loss while improving diaphragmatic breathing.

## Rejuvenation of Mitochondrial Function and Remodeling of Mitochondria. “Binding of SS-31 to the inner mitochondrial membrane induces curvatures and promote the assembly of respiratory supercomplexes to facilitate electron transfer. Enhanced forward electron transfer increases mitochondrial respiration, P/O coupling, and ATP synthesis, while decreasing electron leak and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).” (7)

What is Follistatin?

## What is Follistatin? Follistatin was first identified in the late 1980s, when researchers discovered that it could block the activity of myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle growth. This finding sparked a great deal of interest in the scientific community, and over the next several years, researchers began to uncover more information about the protein's structure and function. One of the key breakthroughs came in 1997, when scientists discovered that a genetic mutation in a bree

What is Adipotide?

[Adipotide](http://www.news-medical.net/news/20120711/Arrowhead-initiates-Adipotide-Phase-1-trial-in-obesity.aspx "adipotide") is a peptidomimetic compound that has been shown to possess pro-apoptotic properties that do cause weight loss in rhesus monkeys and mice. Its sequence is CKGGRAKDC-GG-D(KLAKLAK)2. Studies have shown that its mode of action involves the selective apoptosis of blood vessels supplying the white adipose tissue. [Adipotide](
