LPT3-04™ Weight Loss Agent
Background
LPT3-04™ is a naturally occurring compound, which is normally consumed in the human diet in small amounts. In the course of our SMaRT Replacement Therapy research program, we discovered that consumption of significantly larger amounts of LPT3-04 resulted in dose-dependent weight loss in experimental animal models. The mechanism of action appears to be induction of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, specifically in white fat cells. LPT3-04 consumption in the required amounts has been shown to be safe in humans. Anecdotally, weight loss has been observed in human volunteers. Due to the natural sweetness of LPT3-04 and the relatively large amounts of it that need to be consumed on a daily basis to achieve the desired weight loss effect, current product development efforts are focused on incorporating the compound into bars, milkshakes, and other food products.
Regulatory status
We have submitted a patent application for the use of LPT3-04 for weight regulation with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or U.S. PTO.
