Fragment 176-191 – 5 mg
Fragment 176-191 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal section of human growth hormone (hGH), comprising amino acids 176 through 191. Supplied as a lyophilised powder for research use only, this fragment is used in laboratory investigations into fat metabolism, hormone signaling, and metabolic regulation. Because it isolates a functional segment of hGH, it allows focused study of lipid-related mechanisms without the broader systemic effects of full-length growth hormone.
Research Focus and Areas of Interest
1. Fat Breakdown Mechanisms
Fragment 176-191 promotes lipolysis (break-down of fat) and appears able to suppress lipogenesis (fat accumulation), making it useful for studies investigating how body fat is mobilised under different metabolic conditions.
2. Metabolic Regulation Pathways
Researchers use this fragment to examine effects on insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, and related enzymes, as well as its influence on the balance between energy storage and energy use.
3. Hormonal Cascade Interaction
Since Fragment 176-191 is a part of the hGH molecule, it helps in probing how fragments of GH might influence downstream hormonal axes — including potential effects on IGF-1 or feedback inhibition — without invoking full GH stimulation.
4. Safety & Endocrine Impacts
Animal studies suggest there may be contexts in which Fragment 176-191 influences glycaemic parameters; so labs often examine safety markers alongside metabolic outcomes when using this fragment.
Conclusion
Fragment 176-191 (5 mg) offers a controlled, high-dose research peptide fragment for probing fat metabolism, hormonal signaling, and metabolic regulation in lab settings. Supplied strictly for research use only, it is not intended for therapeutic, diagnostic, or veterinary use.
