The non-DAC form (Mod GRF 1-29) is short-acting, producing a brief GH pulse, and is dosed more frequently

Introduction: Introduction: AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment of human growth hormone (hGH 177191) engineered to replicate hGHs fat-metabolism effects without altering IGF-1 or glucose levels. In preclinical research, it promoted lipolysis (fat breakdown) and reduced lipogenesis (fat storage) through receptor-independent mechanisms. AOD-9604 Fast Facts Class: Synthetic hGH fragment analog (Tyr-hGH 177191) Intended purpose: Stimulate fat metabolism while avoiding hGHs growth or glucose effects Mechanism: Increases fat oxidation, enhances lipolysis, suppresses lipogenesis Distinct from hGH: Does not activate the growth hormone receptor or raise IGF-1 Development stage: Completed Phase II trials
Health Benefits: Decrease inflammation, improve heart health, and enhance healthy skin
This activation, often involving NF-B or MAPK signaling, subsequently triggers inflammasome activation, thereby initiating downstream signaling pathways
