AOD-9604 (5MG)
Original price was: $47.00.$42.00Current price is: $42.00.
Contents: Lyophilized Powder in 3ml vial
Requires reconstitution with bacteriostatic water
LABORATORY HANDLING NOTES: AOD-9604 has unique solubility characteristics that researchers should be aware of when preparing solutions for in vitro applications.
Recommended Solvent Protocol: This compound demonstrates optimal solubility when reconstituted using a combination of 0.6% acetic acid solution and sterile water. Add solvents gradually along the vial wall to minimize agitation, as excessive mechanical disruption may affect solution clarity.
Solution Stability: Due to the high purity of this preparation, reconstituted AOD-9604 may exhibit increased viscosity or gel formation over time. This is a known characteristic of highly concentrated AOD-9604 solutions and does not indicate degradation. Researchers should prepare working aliquots promptly after reconstitution for optimal handling.
Note: If increased viscosity occurs, additional acetic acid solution may restore fluidity.

Description
What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal end of human growth hormone (hGH), corresponding to amino acids 177–191. It has been extensively studied for its lipolytic (fat metabolism) properties without the broader growth-promoting effects of full-length hGH.
In preclinical research, AOD-9604 has been investigated for its ability to stimulate fat breakdown (lipolysis) and inhibit lipogenesis, particularly in models of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and energy balance. Studies suggest it may act through beta-adrenergic independent mechanisms, providing a unique pathway for studying adipose tissue regulation.

Summary of Preclinical Research Findings
Fat Metabolism and Lipolysis
AOD-9604 has been studied for its ability to enhance lipolysis and reduce lipogenesis in adipose tissue. Research demonstrates that it may activate fat oxidation and mobilization processes without stimulating insulin resistance or altering glucose metabolism.
Body Composition and Energy Balance
In rodent and in vitro models, AOD-9604 has been shown to influence body composition by selectively reducing fat mass while preserving lean tissue. Its unique mechanism provides a valuable tool for exploring metabolic rate regulation and energy expenditure independent of traditional GH pathways.
Metabolic Health and Obesity Models
Preclinical studies suggest AOD-9604 may aid in maintaining metabolic equilibrium in high-fat diet and obesity models. It has been used to investigate potential links between GH fragments, adipocyte metabolism, and thermogenic activation in brown and white fat tissue.
Cartilage and Tissue Regeneration
Emerging studies have explored AOD-9604’s potential effects on cartilage protection and repair through localized GH fragment signaling, making it of growing interest in regenerative and orthopedic research.
