About 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.

AOD-9604 20mg reconstitution and concentration
The volume of water you add sets the concentration. For a vial holding 20mg:
- 1ml of bacteriostatic water gives 20mg/ml
- 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/ml
- 3ml of bacteriostatic water gives 6.67mg/ml
Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later.
Use sterile bacteriostatic water. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature first so no condensation gets in, add the water slowly along the glass wall, and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake.
Storage and shelf life
The dry powder keeps best cold: 2 to 8°C in the fridge, or -20°C for long-term storage. After reconstitution, store it in the fridge and finish it within roughly four weeks.
