AOD-9604

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from human growth hormone (hGH). Primarily studied in preclinical laboratory research, AOD-9604 has been explored for its potential roles in metabolic processes, specifically related to lipid metabolism and body composition. This peptide is explicitly intended for research purposes only and is not approved or intended for human consumption or therapeutic use.

Overview of AOD-9604 Research

Composition and Origin

• Synthetic Peptide: AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of the C-terminus of human growth hormone, designed to specifically examine lipid metabolism without broader hormonal effects (Heffernan et al., 2001).

• Research-Oriented Use: Solely intended for laboratory research focusing on metabolic pathways and body composition.

Key Areas of Animal Research

• Lipid Metabolism: Animal studies have investigated the potential effects of AOD-9604 on stimulating lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibiting lipogenesis (fat storage) (Heffernan et al., 2001; Ng et al., 2000).

• Body Composition: Preclinical research explores AOD-9604's potential influence on fat distribution and overall body composition.

Important Reminders for Research Use

• Sterile Handling: Handle peptides under sterile conditions to prevent contamination.

• Proper Storage: AOD-9604 must be refrigerated according to the provided storage guidelines.

• Acknowledgment of Use: By purchasing AOD-9604, you explicitly acknowledge and confirm it is strictly for laboratory research purposes and not intended for human consumption or therapeutic use.
