AOD-9604
AOD-9604 (Advanced Obesity Drug) is a synthetic 16-amino acid peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region of Human Growth Hormone (HGH), specifically amino acids 176–191. Often called the "fat-burning peptide," it was designed to isolate the fat-metabolizing benefits of HGH without the negative side effects like insulin resistance or increased IGF-1 levels.
Key Functions & Benefits
Lipolysis (Fat Breakdown): It binds to beta-3 adrenergic receptors on fat cells, triggering the breakdown of stored triglycerides into free fatty acids to be used as energy.
Lipogenesis Inhibition: It blocks the process of converting excess calories into new fat deposits, particularly in "stubborn" areas like the midsection.
Metabolic Stability: Unlike full-length HGH, AOD-9604 does not impact blood sugar levels, insulin sensitivity, or muscle growth.
Joint & Bone Health: Research suggests it may also support cartilage repair and bone density, with potential applications for osteoarthritis.
