GHRP-6
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6
Description
A potent growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates the pituitary gland. Increases appetite and GH levels with potential effects on body composition.
Overview
Preclinical research has explored the effects of GHRP-6 on lean muscle development, fat mass reduction, joint and tissue recovery, and collagen. It may also prevent doxorubicin-induced myocardial and extra-myocardial damage by activating prosurvival pathways.
Mechanism of Action
GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide ghrelin-receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist that stimulates pulsatile GH release from the anterior pituitary and increases appetite via central ghrelin signaling.
