If Tesamorelin produces less IGF-1 elevation than equivalent GH-induced fat loss would predict, what alternative pathway (lipolysis-direct, central) is doing the work — and does that mean GH-axis side-effect concerns are overstated?
Tesamorelin strips visceral fat primarily through direct adipocyte lipolysis and possibly central neuronal signaling, not through robust IGF-1 elevation
