AOD9604
GH fragment studied for targeted fat loss and cartilage repair — without systemic growth effects.
What Is AOD9604?
AOD9604 is a modified fragment of the C-terminus of human growth hormone (hGH176-191). It mimics the fat-burning activity of GH without affecting blood sugar or causing the growth-promoting effects associated with full-length GH. Studies have focused on its ability to reduce abdominal adipose tissue and support cartilage and bone repair through GH-like but IGF-1-independent mechanisms — making it a cleaner tool for fat loss without the systemic effects of full GH administration.

Applications & Benefits
Effect Timeline
Expected milestones based on published preclinical data.
Metabolic receptor engagement begins. Early appetite modulation and glucose sensitivity improvements detectable.
Progressive improvements in glucose and insulin dynamics. Meaningful weight and fat reduction begins.
Visceral fat reduction measurable. Lipid profiles and metabolic markers show improvement.
Continued metabolic improvement. Insulin sensitivity stabilizes at improved baseline; weight loss sustained.
