hGH Fragment 176-191 Research Compound
AOD-9604 (5mg) will be supplied in Australia by Aussie Peptides with fast domestic shipping to all states and territories.
AOD-9604 is a modified C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (hGH) — amino acids 176–191 with an added tyrosine residue. It was developed at Monash University in Melbourne — one of the few peptides with Australian scientific origins. The research design isolated hGH's fat-metabolising properties from its insulin-like and IGF-1 elevating effects.
Mechanistically, AOD-9604 is studied for direct action on adipose tissue — stimulating lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibiting lipogenesis (fat storage) — without affecting insulin sensitivity or IGF-1 levels.
Key Research Areas
- Adipose Tissue Research — Studied for lipolysis and lipogenesis modulation in visceral and subcutaneous fat
- Metabolic Profile — Studied as a fat-loss alternative to full hGH without IGF-1 elevation or glucose impairment
- Cartilage Research — Emerging research on cartilage and joint tissue effects
- Obesity Models — Studied in diet-induced obesity animal models
Supplied as lyophilized powder at high purity, verified by HPLC and mass spectrometry. 5mg per vial. Fast domestic shipping across Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of the human growth hormone (hGH) molecule — specifically the C-terminal amino acids 176–191, with an added tyrosine residue. It was developed at Monash University in Melbourne with the goal of isolating the fat-metabolising effects of growth hormone without the systemic effects — particularly IGF-1 elevation and glucose impairment — associated with full HGH administration.
How is AOD-9604 different from HGH?
Full HGH acts on multiple receptor pathways simultaneously — it promotes fat loss but also elevates IGF-1 (which drives cell growth broadly) and can impair insulin sensitivity. AOD-9604 is a fragment that targets adipose tissue directly — stimulating lipolysis and inhibiting lipogenesis — without the IGF-1 elevation or glucose effects associated with full growth hormone. This targeted metabolic profile is the basis for its research interest.
What does the research show about AOD-9604?
Preclinical research has demonstrated AOD-9604's ability to stimulate lipolysis and inhibit lipogenesis in adipose tissue — particularly visceral and subcutaneous fat — in obese animal models. Human clinical trials confirmed the compound does not elevate IGF-1 or affect glucose metabolism, supporting its metabolic safety profile. Emerging research also suggests potential cartilage and joint repair properties.
How do you reconstitute AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is supplied as a lyophilized powder and should be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water immediately before use. Inject BAC water slowly into the vial along the inside wall and gently swirl to dissolve — do not shake. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within 8–12 weeks.
How should AOD-9604 be stored?
Store lyophilized AOD-9604 vials at -20°C, away from light and moisture. After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 8–12 weeks. Do not freeze reconstituted solution.
