How does the body process B12
Solubility: Fully miscible with water and aqueous buffers Description & Mechanism Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile aqueous solution containing a low concentration of benzyl alcohol, formulated to inhibit microbial growth during repeated vial access
The environment was calm and relaxed, and the nurses took great care to ensure I was comfortable throughout
The muscle of the upper arm (or the thigh or glute, alternatively) is injected with ~1mL (less than a full syringe) of B12
Evaluation of: Glycerol production (a marker of lipolysis) 2-deoxyglucose uptake (a marker of insulin signaling) DNA synthesis (a marker of proliferation) What they found: AOD-9604 stimulated lipolysis dose-dependently from 10 M, with a plateau at 10 M Full hGH stimulated lipolysis to a similar maximum, but with different kinetics AOD-9604 did not affect glucose uptake or DNA synthesis at all, whereas hGH inhibited both (the classic lipotoxic GH effect) Fragments with different sequence (from the N-terminal part of hGH) had no lipolytic effect Why it matters: This was the first publication of AOD-9604
Laboratory studies in cell and animal models of accelerated aging have shown that replenishing NAD+ can restore mitochondrial function and stimulate beneficial cellular recycling processes like mitophagy
