Physical Properties
AOD-9604 is a 16-amino-acid analog of the hGH C-terminal region (residues ~176-191) with an added N-terminal tyrosine and a Cys7-Cys14 disulfide bridge. It is studied for lipolytic activity independent of the glycemic and IGF-1 effects of full growth hormone.
Research Applications
Lipolysis & Fat Metabolism
Studied for fat-metabolism mechanisms:
- Lipolysis — fat-breakdown research
- Lipogenesis — fat-storage regulation
- Adipose models — metabolic research
Adipocyte Signaling
Examined in fat-cell research:
- β3-adrenergic — receptor-signaling research
- Thermogenesis — energy-expenditure models
- Adipocyte function — cellular metabolism
Metabolic Research
Investigated without hGH-like effects:
- Glycemic neutrality — metabolic-safety research
- IGF-1 independence — signaling research
- Anti-obesity — preclinical models
Regenerative Research
Explored in exploratory contexts:
- Cartilage repair — joint research
- Tissue models — exploratory research
Storage & Handling Guidelines
Capsule Storage
- Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15–25°C)
- Keep in the original sealed container, away from light and moisture
- Retain any desiccant packet included in the bottle
- Keep the container tightly closed between uses
Handling Guidelines
- No reconstitution, solvents, or mixing required
- Handle capsules with clean, dry hands
- Do not open, crush, or split the capsules
- Keep away from heat and out of reach of children
Shelf Life & Stability
- Stable at room temperature when stored as directed
- Avoid excessive heat, humidity, and direct sunlight
- Reseal the container promptly after each use
- Use before the labeled expiration date
AOD-9604 is a modified hGH-fragment peptide. Store capsules sealed at room temperature and protect from heat, humidity and light to maintain integrity for research use.
