Product Description
Ipamorelin is a synthetic, pentapeptide (a peptide composed of five amino acids) that functions as a potent and highly selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). Unlike some older GHS compounds, Ipamorelin is noted in research for its high specificity in stimulating the release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland with minimal impact on other hormones like cortisol or prolactin.
Scientific Research Applications
Ipamorelin is a widely utilized research tool in endocrinology and metabolism studies. It helps scientists investigate the mechanisms of growth hormone regulation and its downstream effects in animal models and cell cultures.
Key research areas include:
- GH Secretion Studies: Researchers use Ipamorelin to study the mechanisms by which GHS receptors are activated and how the body naturally regulates the pulsatile release of growth hormone.
- Metabolic Function Research: Studies in animal models investigate the peptide's effects on body composition, bone density, and lipid metabolism related to increased GH and IGF-1 levels.
- Appetite and Gastric Motility: As a ghrelin mimetic, Ipamorelin has been explored in experimental settings for its influence on appetite regulation and gastrointestinal movement.
