AOD-9604 5mg

Description

AOD-9604 5mg is a 5mg vial of AOD-9604, a modified hGH fragment, made in the USA and supplied as freeze-dried powder. It’s intended for lab research only.

What is AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (residues 177-191 with an added tyrosine). It was developed at Monash University to study fat metabolism without GH’s effects on growth or IGF-1.

Metabolic Pharmaceuticals took it into trials.

How AOD-9604 acts in the lab

Growth hormone has a region near its C-terminal end, residues 177 to 191, that seems to account for its effect on fat breakdown. AOD-9604 is that fragment with a tyrosine added at the front.

In animal studies it increased lipolysis and reduced lipogenesis in fat cells. It doesn’t bind the growth hormone receptor the way full GH does, and it didn’t raise IGF-1 in trials, which is what made it interesting as a tool for separating GH’s fat effects from its growth effects.

What the research says about AOD-9604

Heffernan and colleagues reported in 2001 that it reduced body fat in obese mice.

Phase 2b trials didn’t show significant weight loss compared with placebo.

How AOD-9604 compares

Labs choosing AOD-9604 5mg usually weigh it against a few close relatives. AOD-9604 is hGH fragment 177-191 with an extra tyrosine, studied for fat breakdown without raising IGF-1, while:

• HGH Fragment 176-191 is the 16-residue C-terminal end of growth hormone, the parent of AOD-9604
• 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule that blocks the enzyme NNMT inside fat cells
• MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide coded in mitochondrial DNA, studied for glucose use in muscle

These four are studied for fat metabolism but act in very different places: the growth hormone fragments on fat tissue from outside, 5-Amino-1MQ and MOTS-c from inside the cell. See them all on our weight loss peptides page.

How to reconstitute AOD-9604 5mg

The amount of liquid you add sets the concentration. For a vial holding 5mg:

• 1mL of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/mL
• 2mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5mg/mL
• 3mL of bacteriostatic water gives 1.67mg/mL

Go with whichever number is easiest to work with in your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the date you mixed it. The vial itself holds 3mL, so that’s the upper limit.

Most labs use sterile bacteriostatic water; we sell it in 10mL and 30mL vials. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature, add the water slowly along the glass wall and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake it.

Storing AOD-9604 5mg

The dry powder keeps best cold. A freezer at -20°C is ideal for long-term storage, and a fridge works for a few weeks. After reconstitution, store it in the fridge and finish it within roughly four weeks.

Vials are small and easy to knock over or misplace. Our 6 vial and 10 vial containers keep a whole study’s worth together.

AOD-9604 5mg purity and lab testing

We only sell U.S.-made products, and AOD-9604 5mg is no exception. Each batch is tested by an outside U.S. lab for identity, content and purity, with a 99%+ HPLC purity standard.

You don’t have to take our word for it. The certificate of analysis for the current batch is in the image gallery at the top of this page, next to the product photo, and it shows the test date and the results.

Batches are also screened for endotoxins, heavy metals and sterility. Those contaminant checks matter as much as purity for cell work, where a small amount of endotoxin can skew results.
