AOD-9604
HGH fragment 176-191 studied for lipolytic and metabolic pathway research.
Testing & quality
Every batch is supplier-tested for identity and purity and randomly verified by independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry.
About AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a small piece cut out of human growth hormone — just the section (amino acids 176-191) linked to fat breakdown. Everything in growth hormone tied to tissue growth and blood-sugar effects is left out, so it is a clean way to study fat metabolism on its own.
Research looks at how fat cells release stored fat and how quickly that fat is burned. Supplied freeze-dried at 99%+ purity, independently HPLC/MS verified, for laboratory research only.
What animal studies have reported
These are outcomes published in peer-reviewed animal (preclinical) research on AOD-9604. They describe results seen in laboratory animals only.
- Fat loss without changes in food intake in obese mouse studies
- Increased fat burning and reduced new fat storage
- No change in blood sugar or growth effects, unlike full growth hormone
- Improved cartilage repair markers in rodent joint studies
Animal findings do not predict results in humans. Nothing here is a claim about human use — this product is sold for laboratory research only.
Compound classification
Synthetic fragment of human growth hormone (hGH 176-191) studied for metabolic effects.
Mechanism studied in the literature
Mimics the lipolytic C-terminal region of growth hormone without IGF-1-mediated effects. Studied in preclinical models for fat metabolism and energy expenditure.
