AOD- 9604 (5mg)
AOD-9604 (Advanced Obesity Drug 9604) is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminus of human growth hormone (hGH176-191). It has been studied for its lipolytic properties without triggering IGF-1 elevation or the glycemic and anabolic effects associated with full-length growth hormone. This selectivity makes it a focused research tool for studying fat metabolism independently of GH receptor activation. This 5mg presentation is suited for shorter-cycle or introductory research protocols.
Mechanism of Action
• Studied for mimicking the lipolytic activity of the C-terminal region of human growth hormone, stimulating fat breakdown in adipocyte research models.
• Research indicates activation of beta-3 adrenergic receptors in fat cells, influencing thermogenesis and energy expenditure.
• Does not bind to GH receptors or stimulate IGF-1 production, avoiding growth-promoting side effects observed with full-length hGH in research models.
• Investigated for simultaneous inhibition of lipogenesis and promotion of fat mobilization in adipose biology studies.
Research Areas
• Targeted fat metabolism research, particularly visceral and subcutaneous adipose biology.
• Body recomposition research examining fat reduction without anabolic hormone disruption.
• Short-cycle combination protocols studied alongside GH secretagogues in fat loss biology models.
• Weight management research in contexts where full GH biology is not the primary research variable.
