What is Ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide belonging to the growth-hormone secretagogue family. Growth-hormone secretagogues interact primarily with the growth-hormone-secretagogue receptor, also known as the ghrelin receptor or GHSR-1a.
Why do researchers study Ipamorelin?
Researchers investigate ipamorelin because it can stimulate GH-related signalling through a pathway different from GHRH analogues. This distinction helps separate ipamorelin from CJC/GHRH analogues.
Evidence status
Research includes pharmacological and preclinical work examining endocrine responses. The quality of evidence should be assessed independently for every proposed application.
