Overview

About HGH Fragment 176-191

Mechanism of action

C-terminal fragment of HGH (amino acids 176–191); selectively activates fat cell beta-3 adrenergic receptors to stimulate lipolysis; inhibits lipogenesis without affecting IGF-1 or causing hyperglycemia.

Safety profile

Minimal. Injection site redness, rare headache. No glucose dysregulation. No cancer risk from IGF-1 elevation. · Similar to AOD-9604; designed to avoid full GH side effects; no IGF-1 elevation; well-tolerated anecdotally

Research

Studies & key findings

  • HGH Fragment 176-191 (AOD9604), a 16-amino-acid C-terminal fragment of hGH with a Tyr→Phe substitution at position 177, produces fat-selective lipolytic effects without binding the hGH receptor, without stimulating IGF-1 production, and without affecting insulin sensitivity or promoting tissue growth — demonstrating that the growth and metabolic functions of hGH are structurally separable.
  • Chronic treatment with AOD9604 in obese mice reduced body weight, increased in vivo fat oxidation, and elevated plasma glycerol (index of lipolysis); crucially, beta-3 adrenergic receptor knockout mice were unresponsive to AOD9604, identifying beta-3 AR upregulation as an obligate downstream mechanism for long-term lipolytic effects.
