What It Is
AOD-9604 (Advanced Obesity Drug-9604) is a synthetic modified C-terminal fragment of human Growth Hormone (hGH 177-191) with an added tyrosine residue at the N-terminus. It was designed to isolate the lipolytic properties of full-length growth hormone without inducing IGF-1 elevation, hyperglycemia, or peripheral insulin resistance.
What It Is Commonly Used For
-
Lipolysis & Adipocyte Breakdown: Studied for its ability to stimulate $\beta_3$-adrenergic receptor pathways, accelerating the breakdown of stored triglycerides in white adipose tissue.
-
Inhibition of Lipogenesis: Evaluated for its capacity to suppress lipogenic pathways, preventing the formation and accumulation of new fat storage within adipocytes.
-
Cartilage & Joint Remodeling: Researched in musculoskeletal models for its synergistic potential in extracellular matrix repair, chondrocyte proliferation, and cartilage tissue preservation.
General Purpose
To provide a lipolytic hGH fragment analog for investigating targeted adipose tissue metabolism, non-glycemic growth hormone pathways, and chondrogenic tissue remodeling in laboratory research.
