HGH Fragment 176-191 Research Guide
Full name: Human Growth Hormone Fragment 176-191
The lipolytic fragment of human growth hormone (amino acids 176-191). Retains fat-burning properties of HGH without growth-promoting or diabetogenic effects.
How HGH Fragment 176-191 Works
Mimics lipolytic action of HGH by stimulating beta-3 adrenergic receptors on adipocytes, increasing cyclic AMP and hormone-sensitive lipase activity. Does not affect IGF-1.
Dosing Protocol
- Typical dose: 250-500 mcg
- Frequency: 1-2x daily
- Duration: 8-12 weeks
- Route: Subcutaneous
Reported Benefits
- Targeted fat loss
- No IGF-1 elevation
- No glucose impairment
- No bone/organ growth effects
- Improved body composition
Potential Side Effects
- Injection site irritation
- Mild headache
- Slight drowsiness
Research Citations
- Lipolytic effects of GH fragment 176-191 in obese mice (2018) - Produced significant fat mass reduction without affecting lean mass, glucose, or IGF-1 levels.
- Fat metabolism modulation by GH peptide fragments (2020) - 176-191 fragment stimulated lipolysis at rates comparable to full hGH while showing no diabetogenic potential.
