AOD – 9604

What is AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 is a modified peptide designed to mimic the fat-reducing action of natural growth hormone’s fragment 176-191. It selectively promotes lipolytic activity, increasing fat oxidation without stimulating insulin secretion or muscle growth. Unlike full hGH, AOD-9604 does not impact blood glucose or IGF-1 levels, making it a specialized tool in metabolic and anti-obesity research. This peptide is provided in lyophilized powder form for laboratory use only.

Structure

Chemical formula: C78H123N23O23S2

AOD-9604 is a 15-amino acid peptide fragment that represents the lipolytic region of hGH, modified to enhance stability and bioactivity in experimental settings.

AOD-9604 Research

AOD-9604 and Obesity

Preclinical studies have shown that AOD-9604 stimulates the breakdown of stored fat (lipolysis) and inhibits the formation of new fat cells (lipogenesis). It acts on beta-adrenergic-like mechanisms to accelerate fat metabolism without increasing appetite or muscle mass. Importantly, it does not affect overall growth or IGF-1 levels. This selective activity makes AOD-9604 a promising candidate in obesity and weight-loss research, with a safety profile suitable for long-term metabolic studies.

AOD-9604 and Joint Pain and Function

Emerging research suggests that AOD-9604 may aid in cartilage repair and reduce joint inflammation. It has been observed to stimulate chondrocyte activity and matrix synthesis in lab models, indicating potential for improved joint function and reduced pain. These effects, combined with its anti-inflammatory profile, make AOD-9604 a peptide of interest in studies related to osteoarthritis, injury recovery, and age-associated joint degeneration.

AOD-9604 and Heart Disease

AOD-9604’s influence on lipid metabolism is being explored in the context of cardiovascular health. By enhancing fat breakdown and possibly improving lipid profiles, it may contribute to a reduced risk of conditions linked to metabolic syndrome and obesity. While its direct impact on cardiac tissue remains under investigation, its systemic fat-reducing capabilities present promising avenues for research into cardiovascular risk reduction.
