AOD-9604: Precision Lipolysis Without Growth Effects
Investigating the C-terminal fragment of hGH and its selective ability to mobilize fat stores.
### The Fragment
AOD-9604 is a modified form of amino acids 176-191 of the Growth Hormone polypeptide. Researchers developed it to isolate the fat-burning (lipolytic) effects of GH from its growth-promoting (anabolic/IGF-1) effects.
### Mechanism of Action
In laboratory studies, AOD-9604 has been shown to:
- Stimulate lipolysis (breakdown of fat) in adipocytes.
- Inhibit lipogenesis (formation of new fat).
Crucially, it does this without affecting blood sugar levels or inducing cell proliferation, making it a safer, more targeted tool for obesity research compared to full-length hGH.
