By avoiding the growth hormone receptor/IGF-1 pathway entirely, AOD-9604 eliminates the appetite-modulating effects that make growth hormone therapy challenging for weight management
While agonist peptides based on either scaffold are potent in rat obesity models 2,10,11,12,13 , only a transient weight loss effect is observed with sCT in mouse diet-induced obesity (DIO) models 14 , indicating that there may be distinctions in the mode of action of individual dual agonists
