AOD-9604 5 mg

AOD-9604 5 mg

Overview:
AOD-9604 (Advanced Obesity Drug fragment 9604) is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from human growth hormone (hGH), specifically from the amino acid sequence 176–191. It was developed for research into fat metabolism and obesity-related mechanisms.

Key Features:

• Active Compound: AOD-9604 (hGH fragment 176–191)
• Dosage/Form: 5 mg per vial
• Formulation: Lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder
• Purity: Typically ≥99% (research-grade)
• Classification: Research peptide (not an approved medication)

Mechanism of Action:

AOD-9604 is designed to isolate the fat-regulating portion of growth hormone without triggering its full systemic effects. It has been studied for its ability to:

• Stimulate lipolysis (fat breakdown)
• Inhibit lipogenesis (fat storage)
• Influence metabolic pathways without increasing IGF-1 levels

Potential Research Applications:

• Fat metabolism and obesity studies
• Metabolic and mitochondrial research
• Investigations into cholesterol and glucose regulation
• Joint and cartilage research (experimental)

Claimed Advantages (Research Context):

• Targets fat loss pathways without full HGH activity
• Does not significantly affect insulin sensitivity or growth hormone levels
• Studied for “selective” metabolic effects

Physical & Chemical Properties:

• Appearance: White/off-white powder
• Molecular Weight: ~1815 g/mol
• Sequence: 16 amino acids with disulfide bond
• CAS Number: 221231-10-3

Important Warnings:

• Not approved for human or veterinary use
• Sold strictly for laboratory/research purposes only
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease
• Handling should be limited to qualified professionals

Legal Status:

AOD-9604 is generally sold as a research chemical, and its use outside laboratory settings may be restricted or unregulated depending on the country.
