Tesamorelin Fat Quality Study

The article I came across is about a study on tesamorelin, which found that it improves fat quality independent of changes in fat quantity.

This is really interesting to me because anecdotally, I have noticed that when I am on a gh peptide protocol, my body composition seems to change in a way that doesnt always show up on the scale.

I wonder if others have seen similar effects, and whether this study suggests that tesamorelin could be a useful addition to a protocol focused on body recomposition.

• amber464: I’ve run a few GH‑peptide cycles myself and noticed that my waist measurement dropped a bit even when the scale barely moved, which made me wonder if the fat was shifting or becoming less visceral. I track skinfold calipers and occasional DEXA scans, and those sometimes show a subtle lean‑mass uptick that the weight doesn’t capture. Has anyone else seen that kind of disconnect between weight and visual or measurement changes? Imo it’d be useful to hear what metrics you all find most sensitive fo
