Buy AOD 9604 (5mg) Online. AOD 9604 is a modified peptide initially developed as an offshoot in obesity research. It modifies the peptide Fragment 176-191 of the growth hormone hGH by adding a tyrosine residue to the N-terminus. The proposed mode of action of AOD 9604 has been suggested by researchers to be restricted to promoting lipolysis, thus linking the synthetic compound to obesity research.^[1] The peptide does not appear to affect levels of insulin or IGF1 in studies thus far; therefore, it does not appear to trigger diabetes development or induce glucose intolerance in test models, though further studies are necessary to explore this aspect.^[2]

AOD 9604 Research

AOD 9604 Structure
Scientists hypothesize that different parts of the hGH molecule may possess different properties and induce different effects in test models.^[3] It has been suggested that only the last 15 amino acids may mediate any fat-burning potential of the hormone. The fragment was initially named hGH 177-191 and was subsequently modified by adding tyrosine to create AOD 9401, potentially to help stabilize the molecule. This modification led to the production of a 16-amino acid fragment called AOD 9604.^[4] Interestingly, the researchers comment, “AOD 9604 does not interact with the hGH receptor.” This modification may have made the hGH Fragment 176-191 relatively more stable than other peptides.

AOD 9604 Mechanism of Action
AOD 9604 has mainly been studied in murine models, and significant experiments have involved relatively large amounts of AOD 9604.^[5] These experiments reportedly resulted in a 50% reduction in weight following exposure to the research models. However, it is important to note that the fragment appears to lack any other associated action of hGH, such as a potential increase of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1), insulin resistance, or cell proliferation. Therefore, the compound may not possess the potential muscle-preserving and anabolic action typically associated with growth hormones. Nevertheless, it appears that AOD 9604 may stimulate weight loss through mechanisms similar to hGH, as it may trigger various cellular pathways that might lead to the release of fatty acids from adipose cells.
