GH Fragment
AOD-9604
HGH Fragment 176-191
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of the human growth hormone molecule, studied for how the body breaks down and stores fat. Researchers look at it for fat metabolism specifically, since it focuses on the fat-handling part of growth hormone without acting on the wider growth hormone pathway. In studies it has been examined for encouraging the breakdown of stored fat while limiting the formation of new fat, and is noted for not affecting blood sugar or IGF-1 levels.

Overview
AOD-9604 is a synthetic modified fragment of the human growth hormone molecule, classified as a GH fragment and corresponding to the HGH Fragment 176-191 region. As a research compound, AOD-9604 is studied in models of fat metabolism, lipolysis, and body composition, where investigators focus on the fat-handling portion of the growth hormone sequence rather than the broader growth hormone pathway. VANTA supplies the AOD-9604 peptide strictly as a reference-grade material for in-vitro and laboratory research, not for human or veterinary use.
In preclinical literature, AOD-9604 has been examined for how research models break down and store fat. It has been studied in connection with the breakdown of stored fat and with limiting the formation of new fat in experimental systems, and is noted in the literature for not affecting blood sugar or IGF-1 markers in the models studied. These are model-specific observations reported by researchers and are presented only to orient laboratory work, not as outcomes in humans.
Each lot of research grade AOD-9604 is supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory reconstitution. Because reproducible results depend on knowing the true identity and purity of the test article, every batch is characterized by reversed-phase HPLC for chromatographic purity and confirmed by mass spectrometry for identity. A per-batch Certificate of Analysis (COA) ships with each order so a laboratory can tie each experiment to a specific, traceable lot and its analytical record.
Research Areas
Handling & Reconstitution
AOD-9604 is supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store the sealed lyophilized vial at -20°C, protected from light. Researchers reconstitute with an appropriate solvent immediately before experimental use, following their own institutional protocols. Once reconstituted, the solution is generally held refrigerated. These notes are general laboratory handling references for research use only, not instructions for any in-vivo application.
Frequently asked questions
What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a synthetic GH fragment corresponding to the HGH Fragment 176-191 region of the human growth hormone molecule. In research settings it is studied in models of lipolysis, fat metabolism, and body composition. VANTA supplies it as a reference-grade peptide for laboratory use only.
What form and purity is the AOD-9604 peptide supplied in?
The AOD-9604 peptide ships as a lyophilized powder. Each lot is assessed by reversed-phase HPLC targeting 99%+ chromatographic purity, with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry, so researchers can attribute results to the peptide rather than to impurities.
How should research grade AOD-9604 be stored and reconstituted?
Store the sealed lyophilized vial at -20°C and protect it from light. Researchers reconstitute with a suitable solvent immediately before laboratory use, per their own protocols, and typically hold the reconstituted solution refrigerated. This is general handling guidance for research use only.
Is AOD-9604 third-party tested and does it ship with a COA?
Yes. Every batch of AOD-9604 is verified by HPLC for purity and by mass spectrometry for identity, and ships with a per-batch Certificate of Analysis (COA). This per-lot documentation supports traceability and reproducibility across laboratory experiments.
What research areas is AOD-9604 studied in?
In preclinical and in-vitro literature, AOD-9604 is studied in connection with lipolysis, fat metabolism, and body composition. It is noted in the literature for focusing on the fat-handling part of growth hormone. These are model-specific research observations, not outcomes in humans.
Is AOD-9604 intended for human use?
No. AOD-9604 is supplied strictly for laboratory and in-vitro research use only. It is not a drug, supplement, or food, is not for human consumption, administration, or any clinical, diagnostic, or therapeutic use, and nothing here is medical guidance.
