GHRHs

Meaning

GHRHs stands for Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormones, a class of peptides that act on the pituitary gland to stimulate the pulsatile secretion of endogenous Growth Hormone (GH). These are regulatory neurohormones produced primarily in the hypothalamus. Clinically, GHRH analogues are used to enhance the body’s natural GH production, supporting restorative processes and body composition changes without exogenous GH administration.
