Exploring Ipamorelin: A Selective Growth Hormone Secretagogue for Anti-Aging Applications
Reading Time: 2 minutes Introduction to Ipamorelin Ipamorelin, a synthetic peptide composed of five amino acids, is gaining attention in the scientific community for its potential to combat signs of aging. As a selective growth hormone secretagogue, Ipamorelin mimics the action of the ghrelin hormone, which is involved in stimulating the release of growth hormone (GH). Unlike other growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs), Ipamorelin specifically targets the ghrelin receptor without affecting cortisol and prolactin levels, making it an attractive candidate for anti-aging therapies. Mechanisms of Action Ipamorelin functions by binding to the ghrelin receptor in the pituitary gland, triggering a cascade of biological processes that...
