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.
TZ2
A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist studied for incretin-pathway signaling and metabolic regulation.
TZ2 is a synthetic 39-amino-acid peptide engineered as a dual agonist of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. In research models it is studied for the combined activation of both incretin pathways and downstream effects on insulin secretion, glucose homeostasis, and energy metabolism.
