IN VITRO RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Data presented from peer-reviewed in vitro studies. All findings are laboratory observations only.

🔥 Selective Lipolysis

hGH[176-191] — Fat Loss Without Growth or Insulin Effects

Heffernan et al. characterised AOD-9604's selective lipolytic mechanism, confirming 17% fat mass reduction equivalent to full-length GH in obese mouse models — with zero IGF-1 elevation, zero insulin resistance, and no anabolic tissue growth effects at all tested doses.

Fat mass reduction (AOD-9604) −17%
Fat mass reduction (full hGH) −15%
IGF-1 change (AOD-9604) 0%
🔬 17% fat mass reduction with zero IGF-1 elevation — the lipolytic activity of GH isolated from its anabolic and diabetogenic effects.

0 IGF-1
GH Lipolytic Activity Without Anabolic or Diabetogenic Effects

AOD-9604 is the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (hGH[176-191]) that replicates GH's fat-burning activity via beta-3 adrenergic receptor stimulation — without triggering IGF-1 elevation, insulin resistance, or anabolic effects associated with full-length GH.

In Vitro Safety Data

SAFETY PROFILE

AOD-9604 holds FDA GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) status — the only hGH fragment with formal regulatory safety designation. Phase IIb human obesity trials established an acceptable tolerability profile. Its selective lipolytic mechanism (zero IGF-1 elevation, zero insulin resistance) represents a significant safety improvement over full-length GH.

⚠️ Theoretical Concern

FDA GRAS & Phase IIb Safety Context

AOD-9604 is the only growth hormone fragment with FDA GRAS designation, based on Phase IIb obesity trial safety data evaluated at doses up to 1mg/day over 24 weeks.

  • FDA GRAS designation — evaluated in Phase IIb human obesity trials at 500µg–1mg/day over 24 weeks
  • Zero IGF-1 elevation confirmed — does not activate GH receptor anabolic signalling pathway
  • No insulin resistance or diabetogenic effects at any studied dose
  • For in vitro laboratory research use only — not for human or veterinary administration
