Nahatestide
Nahatestide is a synthetic peptide hormone that belongs to the family of melanocortins. It is structurally similar to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and is used primarily in veterinary medicine for its anabolic and anti-inflammatory properties. Nahatestide is administered intramuscularly and has been shown to increase muscle mass, improve body condition, and enhance wound healing in various animal species, including cattle, sheep, and horses. Its mechanism of action involves stimulating the melanocortin receptors, which are involved in the regulation of appetite, metabolism, and immune function. Nahatestide is often used in conjunction with other growth promoters and nutritional supplements to optimize animal performance and health. However, its use is subject to regulatory controls due to potential adverse effects on animal welfare and human health. Research on nahatestide continues to explore its therapeutic potential in both veterinary and human medicine.
