Lipogenesis

Lipogenesis is the metabolic process of synthesizing new fat (triglycerides) from non-fat sources like carbohydrates.

Detailed Explanation

Lipogenesis is the opposite of lipolysis. AOD-9604 and HGH Fragment 176-191 inhibit lipogenesis while stimulating lipolysis, creating a dual-action fat loss mechanism. NNMT inhibitors like 5-Amino-1MQ indirectly reduce lipogenesis by restoring NAD+ levels and activating SIRT1/PGC-1α, which shifts metabolism toward fat oxidation.
