Ipamorelin Peptide and Selective Agonism
Based on one 1998 murine model-based research study, researchers suggested that Ipamorelin may release growth hormones from the pituitary cells. When Ipamorelin was presented to swine and pentobarbitone anesthetized rats, it reportedly exhibited release in growth hormones. The researchers hypothesized that Ipamorelin may be a growth receptor agonist stimulating GH release through potential affinity in growth hormone receptors.
Key Observations
The researchers commented that Ipamorelin appears to be the first GHS-R agonist with a selectivity for GH release similar to that displayed by GHRH. Scientific research studies have also suggested that Ipamorelin may lead to increased hGH secretion, possibly without significantly affecting other pituitary hormones such as prolactin or ACTH, making it a highly selective tool for GH research.
