All the drugs were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co
Putting the evidence side by side Here is the blunt comparison: AOD 9604: 2.6 kg weight loss in 12 weeks (best result), failed six clinical trials, development terminated Semaglutide: 15 to 17 percent body weight loss over 68 weeks, FDA approved, thousands of study participants, consistent results across multiple trials There is no way to frame this comparison that puts AOD 9604 on equal footing with semaglutide when it comes to clinical evidence
VEGF tumorigenesis was avoided and counteracted (Sikiric et al., 1997c), and inhibition of the growth of several tumor lines and counteraction of tumor cachexia (Kang et al., 2018) and counteraction of the uncontrolled cell proliferation (Ki-67 overexpression counteracted) (Sever et al., 2019) were observed
Loading Phase (Weeks 1-4): 2 to 2.5 mg twice weekly (Monday/Thursday schedule) Maintenance Phase (Weeks 5+): 2 mg once every 7 to 14 days Administration: Subcutaneous injection, location flexible due to systemic distribution Total Cycle: 8 to 12 weeks with 4 to 8 weeks off between cycles The convenience of twice-weekly dosing during loading and weekly or biweekly dosing during maintenance fits easily into Retatrutide schedules
The experiment therefore supports pathway involvement but does not establish that receptor internalization itself is the necessary causal event
This choice depends on the patients health and the doctors advice
