A selective GH secretagogue and ghrelin receptor agonist for growth hormone research.
Scientific Monograph & Mechanistic Overview
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide and a selective agonist of the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor. It is known for being one of the most selective GH secretagogues, as it does not significantly increase levels of cortisol, ACTH, or prolactin.
In laboratory studies, Ipamorelin is used to research the mechanisms of growth hormone stimulation, bone density preservation, and muscle tissue maintenance. Its high selectivity makes it a preferred compound for studying GH-related metabolic pathways without interfering with other endocrine axes.
