Tesamorelin Research Topics:
-
Reduction of Visceral Fat:
Tesamorelin significantly decreases visceral adipose tissue (VAT), particularly in individuals with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. This reduction in VAT is accompanied by improvements in lipid profiles, such as decreased triglyceride levels and improved cholesterol ratios (PMID: 28832410). -
Metabolic Improvements:
The peptide enhances insulin sensitivity and lowers fasting glucose levels, contributing to better metabolic control, especially in individuals with type 2 diabetes (PMID: 28617838). -
Cognitive Function and Quality of Life:
Research indicates potential benefits in cognitive function and quality of life, although these areas require further investigation (PMID: 22869065).
