No thyroid C-cell tumors were observed in human trial participants, though this risk carries a theoretical basis from rodent studies and is listed as a precaution, as it is with all GLP-1 class compounds
Tesamorelin elevates growth hormone and IGF-1, both of which support protein synthesis and lean tissue maintenance
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (specifically amino acids 177-191) designed to promote fat loss without the side effects of full growth hormone therapy
Have gastrointestinal conditions that impair nutrient absorption (e.g., IBS, celiac disease, or Crohns)
Instead, AOD 9604 is used to study downstream metabolic signaling, particularly adipose tissue lipolysis, allowing researchers to isolate lipid metabolism pathways without engaging the broader endocrine GHIGF-1 axis
Some individuals may experience temporary soreness, redness, or swelling in the injection site
