Metabolic Research

Adipocyte and Energy Metabolism Research

This category groups compounds investigated in lipid metabolism, adipocyte biology and cellular energy expenditure — spanning both peptide and small-molecule chemistries, which matters for solubility and handling.

Mechanisms Represented

• AOD-9604 — a modified fragment of the human growth hormone 176–191 sequence, studied in lipolysis models without the full-length hormone’s effect on IGF-1
• 5-Amino-1MQ — a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme highly expressed in adipose tissue; studied for its effect on intracellular NAD salvage
• SLU-PP-332 — a small-molecule pan-ERR (estrogen-related receptor) agonist studied in mitochondrial biogenesis and exercise-mimetic models
• Tesamorelin — a stabilized GHRH analog studied in visceral adipose and GH-axis models

Note on Format

5-Amino-1MQ and SLU-PP-332 are small molecules, not peptides — reconstitution solvents and stability profiles differ from the lyophilized peptide vials elsewhere in the catalog. Check each product page’s Handling & Storage section before planning a protocol. Incretin-pathway compounds are listed separately under GLP-1 / GIP.
