AOD-9604(221231-10-3)Lipolysis stimulation,Weight loss

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment (15 amino acids) corresponding to amino acids 177-191 of human growth hormone (hGH). It is a modified form of the C-terminal region of hGH, specifically the lipolytic domain, which is responsible for the fat-reducing effects of growth hormone. Its mechanism of action involves activating lipolysis (fat breakdown) in adipocytes through a signaling pathway that is distinct from the classic growth hormone receptor (GHR). AOD-9604 is believed to bind to a different site on the GHR or to a separate receptor, stimulating the activity of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), increasing fatty acid oxidation, and inhibiting lipogenesis (fat synthesis).
