Ipamorelin

Description

Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide belonging to the growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) class. It is prized in endocrine research for its efficacy and selectivity. It stimulates the pituitary gland to pulsate and release growth hormone via ghrelin receptor agonism, but with a minimized effect on other hormones like cortisol, prolactin, and ACTH. This selectivity makes it a valuable compound for studying the isolated effects of GH pulses on body composition, sleep, and recovery in laboratory models.
