Technical Specifications
Research Education & FAQs
What are the strict legal and safety limitations for research-grade peptides?
All products listed in this research database are intended solely for laboratory research purposes and are not for human or animal consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use. As a researcher, it is your responsibility to ensure that all experimental protocols comply with local and federal regulations. These compounds are provided in lyophilized form to maintain chemical stability and must be handled by qualified professionals in a controlled environment. Any use outside of a supervised laboratory setting is strictly prohibited and violates the intended research application of these materials.
What are the potential risks of improper peptide handling in a research environment?
Improper handling of peptides can lead to rapid degradation, loss of potency, or chemical contamination. Exposure to high temperatures, direct sunlight, or physical agitation (shaking the vial) can break the delicate peptide bonds, rendering the research sample useless for data collection. Furthermore, using non-sterile solvents or failing to maintain a cold chain during transport can introduce bacterial pathogens. Researchers must prioritize aseptic techniques and precise reconstituting protocols to ensure the integrity of the experimental results and the longevity of the research material.
Does AOD-9604 affect blood sugar levels?
No. Unlike HGH, which can induce insulin resistance, AOD-9604 (residues 177-191 of the GH molecule) stimulates lipolysis without interacting with the HGH receptor. Research indicates it does not alter IGF-1 levels or glucose metabolism, making it a safer candidate for fat loss research in subjects with glycemic sensitivities.
