AOD-9604
Key Takeaways: AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a Other peptide primarily researched for:
- Enhanced fat breakdown (lipolysis)
- Inhibition of new fat formation
- Supports cartilage and joint health
Research Profile
AOD-9604 (Advanced Obesity Drug) is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (hGH). It was specifically designed to mimic the lipolytic (fat-burning) properties of GH without the growth-related side effects.
Mechanism
AOD-9604 stimulates the breakdown of stored triglycerides into free fatty acids. Crucially, it does not raise IGF-1 levels or impact insulin sensitivity, making it a highly targeted tool for metabolic research.
Research Context
While originally developed for obesity treatment, researchers are also exploring its potential in orthopedic applications, such as aiding in the repair of bone and cartilage tissue.
