Description
Research Overview
AOD9604 is a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (hGH), corresponding to amino acids 176–191 with a modified N-terminal residue for enhanced stability. It is widely studied in laboratory research for its interactions with adipose tissue metabolism, lipolysis, lipid regulation, and cellular metabolic signaling.
AOD9604 is an investigational research compound and has not been approved for therapeutic use in humans. This material is supplied by Marsden Research Labs exclusively for qualified laboratory research applications and is not offered for human or veterinary use.

Mechanism of Action
AOD9604 is designed to mimic the lipolytic domain of human growth hormone without activating the classical growth hormone receptor pathway. Laboratory studies have investigated its effects on adipose tissue metabolism, including the regulation of lipolysis and lipid oxidation through pathways distinct from full-length growth hormone signaling. Unlike intact human growth hormone, AOD9604 has demonstrated minimal activity on IGF-1 production in preclinical investigations.
Because of its biological properties, AOD9604 is frequently investigated in metabolic research, adipose tissue biology, peptide signaling, and cellular energy regulation.
