Irisin - hormone turns white fat into brown fat

[kemical]

1. **broken link removed**
   
2. Irisin is a hormone being researched by scientists at the Harvard Medical School that can replicate some of the positive effects of exercise and diet.
   
3. (Irisin is...) A PGC1-α-dependent myokine that drives brown-fat-like development of white fat and thermogenesis "...mildly increased irisin levels in the blood cause an increase in energy expenditure in mice with no changes in movement or food intake."

Someone should sell this stuff.

They would make billions. It would be a wonder drug, no doubt about it.

Wikipedia is the best... There was this link on the Irisin page... This stuff looks like gold too, and they're actually developing it!

Hell, I'd volunteer too...

Sometimes it makes me wish I were a chemical engineer so I could mix up some of this stuff myself for shits and giggles...

this chem goes by another name and a vender here has it.

What is this other name and vendor? If they're a board sponsor I don't see why you can't post it. Or if you're uncomfortable with that then PM them and suggest that they post a response to this thread.

Edit: okay so wiki says it's GW 501516 and if you run a search Ergopep has made a post about it today in the Sponsors section. Awesome!
