AOD-9604 Mechanism

Meaning

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminus of the human growth hormone (HGH) molecule, specifically amino acids 177-191. This compound is primarily defined by its selective metabolic action, which targets adipose tissue to promote fat breakdown. It is clinically distinct from full-length HGH because it avoids stimulating the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) axis or impacting glucose homeostasis significantly. The peptide represents a targeted pharmacological approach to body composition modulation.
