AOD-9604 benefits
From the PeptideBase research library. Educational only — not medical advice.
Studied effects
- selective fat tissue lipolysis via GH C-terminal fragment mechanism
- adipose metabolism stimulation without IGF-1 elevation
- originally developed to isolate GH lipolytic effect from growth effects
- subcutaneous injection — reconstitution with bacteriostatic water required
Mechanism
AOD-9604 stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis through mechanisms believed to be independent of the insulin-like growth factor pathway. It appears to mimic the fat-metabolising action of growth hormone without triggering the proliferative effects associated with full GH or GH-releasing peptides. Oral bioavailability has been observed in some formulations, making it of interest for non-injectable protocols.
