Product Description

AOD-9604

Product Overview

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (hGH), corresponding to amino acids 176–191 with an additional tyrosine residue at the N-terminus. It was developed for research investigating aspects of growth hormone biology, particularly the mechanisms associated with lipid metabolism.

Scientific interest in AOD-9604 has centered on its potential interactions with pathways involved in fat metabolism and the regulation of lipolysis. Unlike full-length growth hormone, AOD-9604 was designed to investigate whether certain metabolic activities associated with the hormone could be studied separately from its broader growth-promoting effects.

Research has included laboratory, animal, and human investigations of its metabolic properties. However, clinical evidence has not established AOD-9604 as an effective, approved weight-loss treatment. Findings from experimental studies should not be interpreted as proof of fat loss or other health benefits in humans.

AOD-9604 remains of scientific interest in studies examining peptide structure–activity relationships, lipid metabolism, and the biological pathways that regulate energy storage and utilization.

Handling & Reconstitution

For laboratory use, reconstitute with Bacteriostatic Water (BAC) or sterile saline. After reconstitution, the solution should be stored at 2–8°C (36–46°F) and used within the appropriate experimental window to maintain peptide stability.
