About AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region of human Growth Hormone (hGH), specifically comprising amino acids 177-191, with an added tyrosine residue. In research settings, it is extensively studied for its targeted metabolic properties, notably its ability to stimulate lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibit lipogenesis (fat formation). Because it mimics the fat-regulating effects of natural growth hormone without inducing the adverse effects often associated with full-length GH—such as altered insulin sensitivity or unintended cellular growth—researchers frequently utilize AOD-9604 to investigate lipid metabolism, energy expenditure, and cellular metabolic dysfunction models.
