2) This study performed by researchers Heffernan et al explored the chronic and acute metabolic effects of AOD9604 in several mouse models, including lean C57BL/6J, ob/ob, WT, and 3-KO mice
Vitamin B12 is essential for many bodily functions, including energy production, mood regulation, and red blood cell formation
The study found that NNMT inhibitors "reduced intracellular 1-MNA, increased intracellular NAD+ and S-(5-adenosyl)-L-methionine (SAM), and suppressed lipogenesis." This metabolic improvement occurs within days of starting treatment, before any weight loss becomes measurable
AOD 9604 functions by targeting specific receptors involved in fat metabolism, particularly those that trigger the breakdown of fats into fatty acids
Elevated IGF-1 levels raise concerns about potential proliferative effects on existing malignancies, making growth hormone therapy problematic for individuals with cancer history or elevated cancer risk
