AOD-9604 5MG Lypholized Powder (Gelling May Occur) See Product Description Note

Description

NOTE: AOD9604 may not dissolve well in Bacteriostatic water. Researchers can use Sterile Water or Acetic Acid with .6% concentration if available.  Acetic Acid is now available on our store!  If you still wish to use bacteriostatic water, please use 3ML of bacteriostatic water. This is can occur with all AOD vials depending on temperature, PH  at reconstitution and several other variables. AOD9604 and Bacteriostatic Water should be at room temperature prior to reconstitution.

AOD9604 is a modified version of the hGH fragment 176-191 peptide (contains a di-sulfide bridge) and thus a derivative of human growth hormone (hGH). Originally developed as a lipolytic (fat burning) compound, AOD9604 has shown benefit in studies of heart disease, osteoarthritis/cartilage repair, and metabolic syndrome. AOD9604 stimulates lipolysis (the breakdown or destruction of fat) and inhibits lipogenesis in animal studies.

AOD Reasearch: AOD9604 was originally developed as an analogue of HGH with the express purpose of fighting fat. Phase 2b clinical trials were completed in Australia testing the drug in 300 obese individuals. The results of once daily administration of the peptide for 12 weeks showed that the drug tripled weight loss when compared to placebo and that the rate of weight loss remained steady during the trial period

Research in mice that are genetically prone to obesity indicates that AOD9604 most likely does not work only by affecting the beta-3-adrenergic receptors found on white fat. It was originally speculated that the peptide bound in these receptors and increased the rate of metabolism in fat cells, shifting them from a storage mode to a usage mode. It turns out that even in mice that lack these receptors, fat loss takes place when AOD9604 is administered_{[<a title=”M. Heffernan et al., “The Effects of Human GH and Its Lipolytic Fragment (AOD9604) on Lipid Metabolism Following Chronic Treatment in Obese Mice andβ 3-AR Knock-Out Mice,” Endocrinology, vol. 142, no. 12, pp. 5182–5189, Dec. 2001.” href=”#resources”>5</a>]}. Though the beta-3-adrenergic receptor likely plays a role in fat loss secondary to AOD9604, at least one other mechanism must be in play as well. There is some thought that AOD9604 may indirectly activate apoptosis in white fat cells.
