Description
HGH Fragment 176-191 – Prefilled Laboratory Cartridge for In Vitro Research (20 mg / 3 ml) Synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to the carboxy-terminal sequence of human growth hormone (amino acids 176–191) in a pre-prepared stabilized buffered solution for in vitro research of lipolytic activity, inhibition of lipogenesis, metabolic pathways, and cellular signaling in adipocytes.
Overview and Mechanism of Action (In Vitro) HGH Fragment 176-191 is a specifically designed sequence that separates the primary metabolic and lipolytic effects of growth hormone from its overall somatotropic action (it does not promote tissue growth or affect insulin sensitivity across the full scope of the whole hormone). In experimental endocrinology, cell biology, and adipose tissue metabolism research, it serves as a standard reference substance:
- Stimulation of lipolysis in adipocytes in vitro: Activates triglyceride breakdown and the release of free fatty acids in isolated fat cells through the modulation of specific receptors and intracellular signaling cascades.
- Inhibition of lipogenesis: Blocks the process of fat formation and storage in primary and cultured adipocytes by suppressing key enzymes responsible for fatty acid synthesis.
- Metabolic selectivity: Studies show that fragment 176-191 specifically affects lipid metabolism without inducing hyperglycemic or mitogenic effects associated with the full somatotropin molecular chain.
- Ready-to-use format for precise laboratory dosing: The stabilized liquid format in a 3 ml cartridge eliminates variability associated with manual reconstitution of lyophilized peptides, ensuring high stability, accuracy, and reproducibility during micro-dosing in laboratory systems.
