Peptides: Tesamorelin, AOD9604, Tirzepatide (GLP-1 agonist) Tesamorelin is FDA-approved to reduce visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in HIV-associated lipodystrophy, but its fat-burning effects also appear in non-HIV populations AOD9604 is a modified fragment of human GH (176191) shown in animal and early human trials to enhance lipolysis without altering blood sugar or cortisol Tirzepatide , while technically a GLP-1/GIP agonist , is now frequently stacked with peptides in clinical practice to accelerate fat loss and appetite control
Given that osteoarthritis involves cartilage degradation and inflammation, BPC-157s potential anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties make it a compound of interest for studying OA, but definitive conclusions require much more research.
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice, composed of 15 amino acids, and studied extensively across preclinical research models
