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.
Semaglutide
A long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist studied for incretin signaling and glucose-metabolism research.
Semaglutide is a long-acting synthetic analog of glucagon-like peptide-1, acting as an agonist of the GLP-1 receptor. Research models study its role in incretin signaling, glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and energy-homeostasis pathways.

03Selecting for a Research Model
Because AOD-9604 and Semaglutide are both metabolic research compounds, they are frequently evaluated against one another. Selection depends entirely on the research question, model system, and endpoints being measured. Both compounds are supplied strictly for in-vitro and laboratory research and are not for human or veterinary use.
Whichever you select, every Ethos Bio lot is verified the same way — a five-point independent panel with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. See how we test →
