In this episode, we break down why AOD-9604 has become a major topic in metabolic research. AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of the human growth hormone molecule, specifically the 176–191 region, and researchers are focusing on it because of its selective impact on fat metabolism. Unlike full growth hormone, AOD-9604 does not appear to raise IGF-1 levels or activate broad hormonal pathways. Instead, it seems to work directly on fat cells through mechanisms related to lipolysis, AMPK activation, and mitochondrial energy production.
We explore how AOD-9604 may support fatty acid release, assist in transporting those fats into mitochondria for energy, and influence metabolic flexibility. The conversation also touches on why scientists are investigating its potential roles in recovery, inflammation, and cartilage behavior, areas that are receiving more attention as research expands.
AOD-9604’s selectivity and metabolic focus have created significant interest in the peptide community, and this episode aims to make the science clear, simple, and practical for listeners wanting to understand the research behind this growth hormone fragment.
