AOD-9604
What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a synthetic analog of the human growth hormone developed to combat obesity and help people trying to lose weight. AOD-9604 stimulates the pituitary gland similar to HGH and other growth hormones to speed up the metabolism and increase weight loss in a shorter period of time than just diet and exercise alone.
How does AOD-9604 work?
AOD-9604 is a peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal section of human growth hormone (HGH), specifically designed to target fat loss without influencing growth or blood sugar levels. Here is a detailed explanation of how AOD-9604 works:
1. Activation of Lipolysis:
- Fat Breakdown: AOD-9604 stimulates lipolysis, the process by which stored fat (triglycerides) in adipose tissue is broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol. These molecules can then be used by the body for energy.
Receptor Interaction: Although the exact receptors and pathways are still under investigation, AOD-9604 is thought to mimic the fat-reducing activity of the natural C-terminal fragment of HGH, engaging specific receptors on fat cells that trigger lipolysis.
2. Inhibition of Lipogenesis:
- Prevention of New Fat Formation: AOD-9604 inhibits lipogenesis, the metabolic process where non-fat substances are converted into fat for storage. By doing so, it helps prevent the formation of new fat deposits.
Indications of AOD-9604:
- Body fat reduction
- Imitates the way natural growth hormone regulates fat metabolism
- Prohibits the transformation of non-fatty foods into body fat
- Mobilizes stored energy during fasting or exercise
- Does not affect blood sugar
- Reduces abdominal fat
- Possesses regenerative properties associated with growth hormone
- Reduces body fat
- Increases metabolism
AOD-9604 offers a targeted approach to fat loss with a favorable safety profile, making it a viable option for those looking to reduce body fat, manage obesity, improve metabolic health, or potentially benefit joint and cartilage health. It is particularly appealing due to its lack of significant side effects commonly associated with HGH, such as impacts on blood sugar or growth-promoting activities.
What you need to know:
Clinical trials have shown that AOD-9604 is well-tolerated in humans, with no significant adverse effects reported. Its selective action on fat metabolism and minimal impact on other systems underscore its safety. Research indicates that AOD-9604 does not promote the growth of cancer cells, differentiating it from other treatments that might stimulate cell proliferation.
