MK-677 Research for Body Composition
An evidence-based overview of research examining MK-677 in the context of body composition. This page synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed literature.
Research Summary
A randomized study in 65 healthy older adults found increased fat-free mass without significant reductions in visceral or total fat or a detected strength or function gain; it lacked power for functional endpoints. A separate eight-person caloric-restriction experiment found improved nitrogen balance; that surrogate cannot be read as a weight-loss or muscle-preservation outcome in patients.
