GHRP

Meaning

GHRP stands for Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide, a class of synthetic peptides that stimulate the release of endogenous Human Growth Hormone (HGH) from the pituitary gland. These compounds act as secretagogues, binding to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) in the pituitary and hypothalamus, mimicking the action of the natural gut hormone ghrelin. GHRPs are utilized clinically to enhance pulsatile HGH secretion, potentially supporting tissue repair, body composition improvements, and metabolic function.
