AOD9604 · How it works
No growth signal, no sugar effect
AOD9604 does not bind the growth hormone receptor the way the whole hormone does. It does not raise IGF-1, does not build tissue the way growth hormone does and does not make cells resistant to insulin. Long courses of whole growth hormone can push blood sugar up; AOD9604 leaves insulin sensitivity untouched. That separates the fat-burning action from the rest of growth hormone's effects.
