Growth Hormone Modulating Peptides

Meaning

Growth Hormone Modulating Peptides (GHMPs) are a distinct class of synthetic or naturally occurring short-chain amino acids that influence the pulsatile secretion and overall biological activity of growth hormone (GH) within the somatotropic axis. These specialized peptides specifically act on the pituitary gland and hypothalamus to stimulate or regulate the endogenous release of stored GH. Clinically, they are actively explored for their potential to enhance favorable body composition, improve recovery from exercise, and modulate aspects of age-related decline known as somatopause. They represent a more nuanced, physiological approach than direct exogenous growth hormone administration.
