What is AOD9604?

Built from index records dated 2026-10-09 to 2026-10-13 Compiled by an automated pipeline, checked by The Peptide Observer editorial desk How this site works

AOD9604 is a peptide, grouped on this site under Growth hormone secretagogues, and the 11 research records kept here are 4 from studies in rats or mice and 7 that do not state what kind of study it is.

Every record the literature search returned for this name is kept here.

What it is

This site puts it in the Growth hormone secretagogues group.

A fragment of human growth hormone described in the retrieved records as its lipolytic domain; it is not reported to act at the growth hormone secretagogue receptor.[1, 2]

Stated in the titles of the cited 2001 Endocrinology and 2000 Hormone Research papers.

What kind of records

The records kept here are animal and laboratory studies only.

That sentence is produced by counting, not by reading. What was counted: no interventional human trial record; 4 rodent and 0 in vitro records among 11.
