AOD-9604
PH-AOD-001
Specifications
Description
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (hGH 176-191) with an additional tyrosine at the N-terminus. This lipolytic peptide stimulates fat breakdown without the growth-promoting effects of full-length GH.
Mechanism of Action
AOD-9604 activates lipolysis by mimicking the fat-metabolizing action of natural growth hormone while avoiding effects on IGF-1 or blood glucose (Heffernan et al., 2001). The peptide specifically targets adipose tissue metabolism.
Research Applications
- Lipolysis and fat metabolism studies (Heffernan et al., 2001)
- Obesity research without GH side effects
- Adipose tissue biology
- Body composition studies
