The signal is widely reported but thinly studied
It has been investigated for its potential effects on tendon regeneration, muscle repair, ligament healing, nerve protection, gut barrier integrity, and even the gut-brain axis
Results demonstrated that AOD-9604 displayed a very good safety and tolerability profile indistinguishable from placebo. Critically, the peptide produced no clinically significant alterations in IGF-1 levels, no glucose intolerance or insulin resistance, and no anti-AOD9604 antibodies in any participant
