How does AOD 9604 work (mechanism of action) While full mechanistic clarity is still under investigation, here are the main proposed/examined pathways: It stimulates lipolysis (the breakdown of stored triglycerides into glycerol + free fatty acids) in fat cells (adipocytes)
High levels of cysteine are toxic in some systems, in part because its amino, carboxyl, and thiol groups are well situated stereochemically to chelate metal ions, which catalyze air oxidation of its thiol group
One of the largest and most robust studies is the SURMOUNT-4 trial
[4] Both can cause similar side effects, such as nausea or digestive issues

Adjunctive basal GLP-1-RA therapy in patients after MBS may be a promising treatment choice in weight management in addition to lifestyle changes, not only due to increased GLP-1 signaling, but also to a putative blunting effect on metabolic adaptation that occurs after MBS, increased fat oxidation, and decreased carbohydrate and protein oxidation
