Description

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (hGH), consisting of amino acids 177-191 with a tyrosine residue added at the N-terminus. Research has focused on its role in lipid metabolism, specifically its ability to stimulate lipolysis and inhibit lipogenesis through mechanisms that appear independent of IGF-1 pathway activation. Studies have examined its metabolic effects in the context of adipose tissue regulation and energy homeostasis research. It is supplied in lyophilised form for research purposes.
