AOD-9604
A growth hormone fragment chosen to carry the fat side without the growth side.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Peptide fragment of growth hormone |
| Origin | The rear stretch of the growth hormone chain |
| Research field | Fat breakdown, fat metabolism |
| Research status | Clinically studied |
| Form | Freeze dried powder |
What it is
Growth hormone has several effects that sit in different parts of its chain. AOD-9604 is the stretch linked to fat breakdown, without the parts concerned with growth and with blood sugar.
How it works
The literature describes it as acting on fat cells without switching on the growth hormone receptor itself. That makes it a clean model for looking at the fat side of growth hormone separately.
What the research shows
Clinical studies on weight have been run. The results were not convincing enough for registration, which is why the substance stayed in the research range rather than becoming a medicine.
Research status
Clinically studied in humans.
Practical
Dissolves normally in bacteriostatic water; keeps well as a powder.
