Instead of giving the peptide orally, they treated the muscle samples directly—allowing for a clear look at SLU-PP-332’s cellular effects. The study found that Sloop could mimic the benefits of exercise at the molecular level, increase mitochondrial biogenesis, improve antioxidant capacity by 117%, reduce oxidative stress by almost 38%, and even upregulate proteins crucial for muscle growth and maintenance—especially in inactive or aging muscle.I break down the molecular mechanisms (FNDC5, SIRT1, PGC1α, ERRα) and how SLU-PP-332 helps reverse markers of muscle aging, senescence, and atrophy. If you want to know how to preserve muscle, burn fat, and possibly extend your healthspan—especially if you struggle to exercise due to injury or age—this video is packed with actionable insights.I wrap up with my personal thoughts, why I use Sloop, and encourage you to share your own experiences in the comments for the benefit of the community.If you found this valuable, please like, comment, and subscribe.
