Also known as: AOD-9604, Anti-Obesity Drug 9604
A modified fragment of the C-terminus of human growth hormone (residues 176-191) studied for fat-loss effects without the broader growth-promoting actions of full GH.
Sign in to rate this peptide.
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide based on the lipolytic C-terminal fragment (176-191) of human growth hormone. It is thought to stimulate lipolysis and inhibit lipogenesis by acting on beta-3 adrenergic receptors in adipose tissue, mimicking GH's fat-burning effects without raising IGF-1 or affecting blood glucose. This separation of the metabolic action from the growth-promoting action is the basis of its research interest.
