Abstract
Methods of using polypeptide compounds based on the structures of insect peptides of the adipokinetic hormone family to mobilize lipids in humans are provided. The described compositions and methods are useful for modulating human body weight, such as inducing weight loss. Screening methods for identifying other compounds effective for modulating lipid mobilization in humans are also provided.
