Overview

What is AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 is a modified C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (residues 176–191) studied for fat metabolism without the systemic GH-like effects on IGF-1 or glucose.

Mechanism of Action

Binds adipocyte beta-3 receptors, stimulating lipolysis and inhibiting lipogenesis. Does not bind the GH receptor — no impact on growth or insulin sensitivity.

Key Benefits

Targeted adipose tissue breakdown
No effect on blood glucose
Preserves lean muscle mass
Convenient daily dosing

Research Indications

Stubborn fat reductionEffective

Metabolic rate supportModerate
