Peptide fragment corresponding to the C-terminal region (amino acids 177-191) of human growth hormone, with an added tyrosine. AOD9604 stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis in research models without the proliferative effects associated with full-length GH. Research areas include fat metabolism, adipocyte biology, cartilage repair, and metabolic signaling independent of the GH/IGF-1 axis. For research use only — not for human consumption.
