AOD-9604 5MG

AOD-9604 is a synthetic modified fragment of human growth hormone (hGH), specifically designed for lipolytic (fat metabolism) research. Originally studied for its potential role in obesity-related research, AOD-9604 has been investigated for its ability to stimulate fat breakdown (lipolysis) while reducing fat accumulation (lipogenesis).

Unlike full-length hGH, AOD-9604 does not stimulate IGF-1 levels, making it an area of interest in metabolic and weight-regulation research. Studies suggest that this peptide may be a useful tool in examining fat metabolism, energy expenditure, and potential regenerative properties.

AOD-9604 & Nasal Administration

While most AOD-9604 studies focus on subcutaneous injection, emerging data suggests that intranasal administration may offer a viable alternative for peptide absorption. Nasal delivery of peptides has been explored in various research models due to its potential for:

• Bypassing first-pass metabolism for direct absorption into the bloodstream
• Rapid bioavailability through the nasal mucosa
• Alternative routes of peptide uptake for pharmacokinetic studies

Although AOD-9604 nasal delivery has not been as extensively studied as injection-based methods, other peptides have demonstrated promising absorption rates via this route. Further clinical and preclinical research is needed to establish bioavailability, stability, and efficacy when administered nasally.

Mechanism of Action

AOD-9604 is a C-terminal fragment of hGH (amino acids 176-191) and retains the ability to activate beta-3 adrenergic receptors, which are involved in fat oxidation and thermogenesis. Research suggests that this peptide:

• Promotes lipolysis by triggering the breakdown of stored fat
• Inhibits lipogenesis, reducing the formation of new fat deposits
• May influence metabolic pathways associated with energy expenditure
• Does not activate IGF-1 receptors, differentiating it from full-length growth hormone

Potential Research Applications

AOD-9604 is currently being examined in various preclinical and clinical studies related to:

• Adipose Tissue Metabolism – Investigating mechanisms of fat oxidation and energy regulation
• Obesity Research – Examining its role in weight-related metabolic studies
• Cartilage & Joint Research – Some studies suggest possible applications in cartilage and tissue regeneration
• Peptide Bioavailability Research – Exploring alternative administration routes, including nasal absorption
