Peptides are short chains of amino-acids, just like full length proteins. They are found naturally in humans and act as signaling messengers between organ systems to keep the human body working optimally. Insulin was the first synthetic peptide (1923)to be used in healthcare, and remains crucial in the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes even today!
Peptides can be categorized into several classes, based on structure or function. For simplicity, we focus on therapeutic peptides, including insulin, oxytocin, and vasopressin. Over 40 peptides have been FDA approved for use in healthcare.
Dr. McLean began studying peptides in 2013 and more recently has become a certified provider and educator. She can help patients to understand how they work and when to implement to support overall health goals.
