AOD-9604 is a synthetic fragment corresponding to the 176–191 region of growth hormone — the portion associated with fat-metabolism activity, without the full hormone’s growth signaling.
What it is
AOD-9604 is studied for stimulating lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibiting lipogenesis (fat formation) in research models, reportedly without the IGF-1-raising effects of full-length growth hormone.
How it’s studied
Its research profile centers on adipose-tissue metabolism as an isolated fragment of the GH molecule.
Research focus areas
- Lipolysis and lipogenesis in adipocyte models
- Fat-metabolism signaling of the GH 176–191 fragment
- Separation of metabolic from growth effects
- Comparative work versus full-length GH
Handling & documentation
In the laboratory this material is typically supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder and reconstituted with bacteriostatic or sterile water for in-vitro work. As with any research compound, the quality signal that matters most is a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) from an independent lab, confirming identity by mass spectrometry and purity by HPLC. Store per the supplier’s guidance and verify the COA before use.
