Description
This leptin fragment had the ability to mimic the effects of recombinant leptin on body weight and food intake in female ob/ob mice that lack endogenously circulating active leptin. Daily intraperitoneal administration of 1 mg of this peptide for 28 days caused a body weight loss of 3.4% (control +14.7%). Food intake was reduced by 15%.

About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.
Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.
Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.
In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
