02How They Differ
AOD-9604
A modified growth-hormone fragment studied for lipolytic and fat-metabolism pathways.
AOD-9604 is a synthetic modified fragment of human growth hormone corresponding to the C-terminal residues 176-191 with a tyrosine modification. Research focuses on its lipolytic activity and effects on fat metabolism.
R3
A triple GIP / GLP-1 / glucagon receptor agonist studied for multi-incretin metabolic signaling.
R3 is a synthetic triple agonist targeting the GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors simultaneously. Research models investigate the combined contribution of all three pathways to glucose regulation, lipid metabolism, and energy expenditure.
