HGH Fragment 176-191 is a stabilized fragment of the C-terminal portion of human growth hormone (amino acids 176-191). It is the parent compound of AOD-9604. Research focuses on fat metabolism and lipolysis without the growth-promoting or diabetogenic effects of full GH.
Summary: Stimulates lipolysis and fat oxidation through a GH-receptor-independent mechanism, targeting adipose tissue without affecting IGF-1, glucose metabolism, or growth. Mechanisms (reported/proposed across domains): Metabolic / fat reduction • Mimics the lipolytic region of human growth hormone, stimulating hormone-sensitive lipase activity in adipose tissue. • Promotes fat oxidation and...
