AOD 9604

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal fragment (amino acids 176–191) of human growth hormone (hGH), developed for in vitro and animal model research to investigate lipid metabolism and lipolytic mechanisms. It is utilized in laboratory studies to explore its effects on fat cell breakdown and inhibition of lipid accumulation in cell lines and rodent models under controlled conditions. Researchers employ AOD-9604 to examine its interactions with metabolic pathways, focusing on its potential to modulate lipolysis without affecting growth hormone receptor signaling, often using analytical techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry to verify its structural integrity and purity. This peptide is intended exclusively for scientific investigations to advance understanding of fat metabolism and related biochemical processes in experimental research settings.
