In lab experiments with cells and tissues, AOD 9604 is used to explore how fat cells respond to this growth hormone fragment, including changes in enzyme activity, gene expression, and energy-related signaling pathways
After lysis and release of the solubilized protein, the GST tagged protein is purified by affinity chromatography by adding 0.5ml glutathione resin to the clarified lysate
Take-home message: - Peptides and assorted experimental drugs, like TB-500 and MK-677, are being recommended by fitness influencers to grow bigger muscles, lose fat, and recover from injuries faster - These drugs, many of which are claimed to boost levels of growth hormone, were studied in rodents and very small groups of human volunteers before being abandoned for not being beneficial or for causing unacceptable side effects - They are banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency and appear to be illegal in Canada and the United States, but can be purchased online
