Fragment 176-191

Overview

Fragment 176-191 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 176–191 of human growth hormone. It retains the lipolytic (fat-burning) activity of intact HGH while lacking its growth-promoting and insulin-desensitizing effects, making it a targeted metabolic research tool.

Mechanism of Action

Fragment 176-191 stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis in adipocytes by activating β3-adrenergic receptor pathways. Unlike full HGH, it does not engage the IGF-1 pathway or promote glucose intolerance, resulting in a more selective metabolic profile.

Common Research Uses

• Fat loss and lipolysis research
• Body composition studies
• Metabolic rate research
• Lipid metabolism studies
