Tesamorelin · How it works
Fat burning from the inside
Growth hormone works on fat cells directly. It switches on hormone-sensitive lipase and makes visceral fat cells more responsive to adrenaline, so stored fat is released and burned. Visceral fat, the fat packed around the organs, responds most because it carries more of these receptors. Less visceral fat means less inflammatory signal flowing to the liver.
