AOD-9604 vs PE-22-28
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (HGH fragment 176-191). It was developed to have the fat-reducing effects of growth hormone without the adverse effects on blood sugar or growth.
Full details →PE-22-28
PE-22-28 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from research on the SAMP8 mouse model of accelerated aging. It has shown potential for enhancing memory and reducing cognitive decline.

| Aspect | AOD-9604 | PE-22-28 |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Stimulates lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibits lipogenesis (fat accumulation) without affecting blood sugar or growth. Works specifically on adipose tissue through a mechanism independent of GH receptors. | Derived from the protein that is deficient in SAMP8 mice. May work by inhibiting protein phosphatase 2A methylesterase, thereby affecting memory-related signaling pathways. |
| Typical Dosage | Research dosing typically ranges from 250-500mcg daily, often split into morning and afternoon doses. Some protocols use higher doses up to 1mg. | Research protocols vary. Intranasal dosing has been studied at various concentrations. Optimal human dosing not established. |
| Administration | Subcutaneous injection, typically in the abdominal area. Best administered on an empty stomach. Can be combined with exercise for enhanced effects. | Intranasal administration preferred for CNS delivery. Research compound with limited human use data. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. May cause headaches, injection site reactions, or temporary lethargy. Does not affect blood glucose like full GH. | Very limited human data. Primarily studied in animal models for safety and efficacy. |
