What it is
SLU-PP-332 is a synthetic small molecule often grouped with peptide-style metabolic compounds. It is studied for exercise-mimetic signaling, endurance, mitochondrial respiration, fatty-acid oxidation, and metabolic-health research.
Mechanism of action
SLU-PP-332 activates estrogen-related receptors ERRalpha, ERRbeta, and ERRgamma, nuclear receptors that regulate oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial metabolism, fatty-acid oxidation, and exercise-responsive gene programs.
Evidence summary
Current evidence is preclinical and analytical. Mouse studies report an acute aerobic exercise-like transcriptional response, improved endurance capacity, and metabolic-syndrome improvements. It has no established human clinical dosing.
Typical dosing protocols
- 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2.0 ml bacteriostatic water
- 250-500 mcg subcutaneous, 1-2 times daily
- 5 days on / 2 days off for 4-8 weeks; morning or pre-workout timing is common
Side effects & safety
- Injection-site redness, tenderness, itching, or mild swelling
- Headache, nausea, digestive upset, restlessness, or sleep disruption if taken late
- Use cautiously in athletes because exercise mimetics and metabolic modulators can raise sport-eligibility concerns
