    Product Description

    GQ-16 is a partial agonist for PPARγ (Ki = 160 nM) which induces adipogenesis significantly less than the full activator rosiglitazone (Item No. 71740).1 Like rosiglitazone, GQ-16 reverses high fat diet-mediated impairments in insulin signaling.1 However, GQ-16 does not induce weight gain, hyperphagia, or edema. GQ-16 does not activate PPARα, PPARβ/δ, or RXRα.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
