Researchers utilize AOD9604 to examine how specific regions of growth hormone influence lipid metabolism independently of growth hormone receptor-mediated effects in experimental models of obesity and metabolic disorders
Several studies (Table 3) have shown that LA significantly reduces body fat mass, hepatic clearance of TG-rich lipoproteins, and lipid droplets through upregulating the expression levels of hepatic lipolytic enzymes (ATGL, acyl-CoA thioesterase [Acot1], Acot2, Acsf2, and Crat) and downregulating the expression levels of liver lipogenic enzymes (patatin-like phospholipase domain protein [Pnpla3], Pnpla5, Elovl6, Acly, sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1 [Gpat], Aacs, FASN, ACC, and SCD-1)
