Mechanism of Action in Research Models AOD-9604 is researched for its involvement in lipolysis pathways, the process of breaking down stored fat for energy.Because it retains only the C-terminal fragment of the hGH molecule, researchers use it to isolate this specific activity from the broader hormonal cascade triggered by full hGH, allowing for more targeted study of fat-metabolism mechanisms without the confounding variables introduced by growth-hormone-axis activation
It is widely used in anti-aging skincare products, which can significantly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin firmness
