### AOD-9604 Mechanism of Action AOD-9604 is believed to promote **fat loss** through: - Stimulation of lipolysis in adipose tissue via beta-3 adrenergic receptor pathways - Inhibition of lipogenesis (new fat formation) - No effect on growth hormone receptors (does not promote tissue growth) - No effect on IGF-1 levels or blood glucose Importantly, AOD-9604 does **not** suppress appetite or affect food intake it is purely a lipolytic **fat loss peptide**
This prevents the breakdown of dietary fats into free fatty acids and monoglycerides that can be absorbed, leading to a reduction in caloric intake and weight loss [24]
