Hexarelin
PH-HEX-001
Specifications
Description
Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide growth hormone secretagogue with potent GH-releasing activity. This GHRP also exhibits cardioprotective properties independent of its GH-releasing effects.
Mechanism of Action
Hexarelin activates the ghrelin receptor to stimulate GH release from pituitary somatotrophs (Imbimbo et al., 1994). Studies show interaction with somatostatin pathways (Massoud et al., 1997) and influence of exogenous GH on hexarelin response (Massoud et al., 1995).
Research Applications
- Growth hormone secretion studies (Imbimbo et al., 1994)
- Somatostatin interaction research (Massoud et al., 1997)
