What does AOD-9604 stand for?
This site's AOD-9604 profile does not treat AOD as short for anything. AOD-9604 is a lab code for a changed piece from the end of growth hormone (building blocks 177 to 191, with one extra amino acid, tyrosine, added at the front). Its molecular weight is about 1,815 daltons. It is also written Tyr-hGH177-191. The letters are a lab code, not a proven fat-loss result. Six careful studies in people, summed up on that page, did not establish efficacy for weight loss. This FAQ does not treat the name as a finding. Full record at /compounds/aod-9604.
