Fragment 176-191
Fragment 176-191
Also known as: HGH Fragment 176-191, HGH Frag, GH Frag
Overview
Key Facts
Primary Goal: Research and therapeutic applications of Fragment 176-191
Activates lipolytic pathways in adipose tissue through the C-terminal region of GH. Inhibits de novo lipogenesis to prevent new fat storage.
Dosing Information
15-20 minutes
250–500 mcg
1-2 times daily, fasted
8-16 weeks
Benefits
- Targeted fat loss through enhanced lipolysis
- No impact on blood glucose or insulin sensitivity
- Does not promote organ or bone growth
- Does not increase IGF-1 levels
Side Effects
Mechanism of Action
Activates lipolytic pathways in adipose tissue through the C-terminal region of GH
Inhibits de novo lipogenesis to prevent new fat storage
Does not interact with the GH receptor in a way that triggers IGF-1 or anabolic signaling
Contraindications
Do not use this peptide if any of the following apply:
- Active cancer
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Eating disorders or severe caloric restriction
Storage & Reconstitution
Unreconstituted (Powder)
Reconstituted (Mixed)
Research Summary
HGH Fragment 176-191 was identified through structure-function studies of growth hormone that mapped the lipolytic activity to the C-terminal region. In vitro and animal studies demonstrate it promotes fat oxidation at a rate 12.5 times greater than unmodified GH without affecting carbohydrate metabolism. It is primarily used in research settings focused on obesity and metabolic syndrome.
