Mechanism and findings

Human study · Study formulation · Seven volunteers; skin biopsies

Pigment composition

The small study reported increased eumelanin after the studied MT-I regimen; pheomelanin did not change significantly.

Literature findings; refer to the model and formulation studied.

Mechanism of action

Melanotan I — alpha-msh analogue. The literature identity must be matched to the documented chemical form and composition of the supplied material.

The alpha-MSH analogue was examined through pigmentation changes and eumelanin/pheomelanin analysis in skin biopsies. The small study distinguished anatomical sites and pigment types, which should not be condensed into a generic skin-response measure.
