AOD9604
AOD9604 is a peptide fragment (fragment hGH 177-191) of the C-terminus of human growth hormone, to which tyrosine has been added at the N-terminal end. Studies have shown that AOD9604 is more effective than its predecessor AOD9401 in terms of its ability to stimulate lipolytic (fat burning) and antilipogenic activity. Like growth hormone, AOD9604 stimulates lipolysis (the breakdown or destruction of fat) and inhibits lipogenesis (prevents the conversion of fatty foods into fat deposits) both in laboratory tests and in animals and humans. Recent clinical studies have shown that AOD9604 has demonstrated a reduction in mid-abdominal fat deposits in both obese and overweight individuals.
