AOD-9604
AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide comprising the C-terminal fragment (amino acids 176-191) of human growth hormone, modified with an added tyrosine residue. It represents the isolated lipolytic domain of GH, engineered to influence fat metabolism without the growth-promoting or glucose-altering effects of the full hormone. Research shows AOD-9604 stimulates lipolysis (the breakdown of stored fat) and inhibits lipogenesis (new fat accumulation), acting on beta-3 adrenergic receptors in adipose tissue. Preclinical studies demonstrate reduced body fat, particularly in obese models, while importantly showing no measurable effect on IGF-1, blood glucose, or insulin sensitivity, distinguishing it from intact growth hormone. Additional research explores its potential in cartilage repair and metabolic regulation. Because it targets fat metabolism through a receptor-mediated mechanism rather than systemic GH signaling, AOD-9604 is widely studied as a model compound in obesity, lipid-metabolism, and regenerative research.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your products third-party tested?
Yes. Every batch is independently tested for identity and purity by HPLC and mass spectrometry at U.S. accredited labs, and a Certificate of Analysis is available for each batch.
What purity can I expect?
All compounds are 99%+ purity, verified by HPLC.
How should this be stored?
Store lyophilized (freeze-dried) material cool and dry; refrigerate once reconstituted. Refer to the product details for compound-specific guidance.
How fast do you ship?
Orders generally ship within 1–2 business days in temperature-controlled, tamper-evident packaging with tracking.
Are these safe for human use?
No. All products are sold strictly for in-vitro research and laboratory use only and are not for human or animal consumption.
