AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide analogue consisting of the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (hGH), specifically amino acids 177–191. It was developed to isolate the lipolytic properties of hGH without the associated growth-promoting or insulin-sensitizing effects observed with full-length hGH.
Mechanism of Action
AOD-9604 stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis by mimicking the way natural growth hormone regulates fat metabolism. Research suggests it activates beta-3 adrenergic receptors and modulates the Rho pathway, influencing adipocyte differentiation and metabolism without significantly impacting IGF-1 levels or blood glucose homeostasis.
Research Applications
- Adipose tissue metabolism and lipolysis research
- Obesity and metabolic syndrome models
- Cartilage repair and osteoarthritis studies
- Body composition and fat distribution research
- Growth hormone receptor interaction studies
