What is AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 corresponds to the C-terminal 176-191 region of human growth hormone, with an added N-terminal tyrosine for stability, and was designed to isolate the lipid-regulating portion of the GH molecule from its growth-promoting domain.

How it is understood to work

In preclinical work, AOD-9604 appears to engage adipocyte lipolysis pathways in a manner similar to full-length GH, promoting breakdown of stored triglycerides and limiting new fat formation, while not activating the growth-hormone-receptor pathways linked to IGF-1 elevation.

Research status

The peptide has been examined mainly in rodent and cell-culture models of obesity and fat metabolism, along with early-stage human trials conducted over a decade ago that did not lead to regulatory approval. It has also drawn interest in cartilage and joint-repair research; overall evidence remains preclinical and limited compared with approved metabolic therapies.

Questions

Is AOD-9604 the same as full-length growth hormone?

No. It is only the 16-residue C-terminal fragment of GH and lacks the receptor-binding regions responsible for GH’s classic growth-promoting and IGF-1-raising effects, which is why it is used to study fat metabolism in isolation.

Did AOD-9604 ever reach the market as a medicine?

No. It underwent clinical development for obesity in the 2000s but did not receive regulatory approval, so it remains a research compound rather than an approved drug.

How much AOD-9604 is in this kit?

10 vials of 5 mg each, so 50 mg in total. The lab testing section above shows what the brand’s tested vial actually contained.
