AOD
Growth-hormone fragment peptide
AOD-9604 is a small peptide copied from just the tail end of human growth hormone. It is only a fragment, not the whole hormone, and it does not carry growth hormone's overall activity.
Also known as hGH fragment 176-191 · Growth-hormone fragment
How it is studied
In lab and animal studies, researchers look at how it relates to the way cells handle fat. Unlike the whole growth hormone, it is reported not to raise a related growth signal (IGF-1). Its exact target inside the cell is not firmly established.
Research context
Studied in early laboratory research on lipid handling in cellular energy models. Research use only.
Good to know
Older human studies did not reach their goals, and there is still limited information on how it works.
Research area
Metabolic Research. This group covers compounds that scientists study in metabolic and energy-signaling pathways — including incretin, glucagon, and amylin-axis tools, plus related small molecules used as laboratory probes. Many copy or block natural gut and pancreatic hormones.
