How we do?
Pathologies Derived from Fat Accumulation
Increased ectopic fat accumulation:
Fatty liver and NASH
- Liver fat accumulation, fibrosis and inflammation leading to cirrhosis.
- Silent disease, low awareness and poor diagnosis.
- Co-morbidities obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
Cellulite
- Undesirable fat deposits in subcutaneous adipocyte.
- Socially subterfuge disease affecting +80% pot-puberal females.
- Scarce science-based innovation in the last decade.
Endolipid proposed strategy:
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Mimicking SHBG, an innovative new strategy to reduce ectopic fat accumulation.
Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin
- Plasma glycoprotein
- Produced by the liver and secreted Into the blood.
- Binds sex steroids.
- Low plasma SHBG levels related to subjects with obesity, fatty liver, type 2 diabetes and PCOS.

The ENDOLIPID Technology.
SHBG-mimic Peptides
Peptides mimicking SHBG are useful to treat fatty liver diseases and reduce cellulite.
Therapeutic and dermocosmetic applications.
Endolipid (EDL) Peptide Products
Mimicking SHBG, an innovative approach to NASH and cellulite thin pipelines.
Two peptides, EDL3D (Cellulite) is ready for co-development and EDL6D (NASH) is in PoC.
EDL3D – Cellulite.
EDL6D – NASH.
