{{| Linde and his associates have developed a compound that mimics the activity of the naturally occurring hormone called aMSH. This hormone is naturally excreted during eating and binds to a receptor in the brain called MC4R. When this “communication” occurs on a substantial level, the brain sends out a signal that one feels “full.”

The young Hebrew university researchers developed a novel method for synthesizing a peptide (a peptide is a compound linking two or more amino acids) which can serve as an analog to the naturally occurring aMSH hormone. They were able to demonstrate that their peptide, which they call BL-3020, displayed good metabolic stability to intestinal enzymes when swallowed, and that it was able to cross the intestinal wall and gain access into the blood stream. Once in the blood, it could make its way to the MC4R receptor and “close the circuit” to send out the “full” signal.|}} : 본 내용은 음식을 먹게되면 분비되는 호르몬이 뇌에 포만감을 느끼게 해주는데, 그 호르몬과 비슷한 단백질을 합성하여, 그 단백질을 투여하면 포만감을 느끼게 하므로써, 음식물의 섭취량을 줄일 수 있게되고, 이로 인해 체중을 줄이는 방법이다.
