The wells in the lower plate are filled with a suitable acceptor solution, while the upper plate has a ready-made membrane in each well, which consists of ceramides, free fatty acids, and sterols
One study published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism , found that after just three weeks of supplementing with oral glutathione, insulin resistance was significantly improved in people with and without type 2 diabetes, making it a promising tool for both diabetes prevention and treatment
What they found: In normal obese mice: AOD-9604 reduced body fat by 21 % vs placebo, hGH by 24 % The AOD-9604 effect was fully dependent on the 3-adrenergic receptor , in knock-out mice no effect The hGH effect was partly independent of 3-AR , in knock-out mice there was still ~10 % fat reduction AOD-9604 did not raise IGF-1 (control level), whereas hGH raised IGF-1 by 80 % No changes in growth, organ weights (except adipose tissue), fasting insulin Why it matters: The study provided the mechanistic basis for AOD-9604 and confirmed the key business hypothesis: it is possible to separate the lipolytic effect of GH from its growth effect
