Growth Hormone Releasing Hormones

Meaning

Growth Hormone Releasing Hormones, often referred to as GHRH analogues like Sermorelin, are hypothalamic peptides whose physiological role is to stimulate the synthesis and pulsatile secretion of somatotropin from the anterior pituitary gland. These substances are critical for promoting anabolic processes and regulating growth throughout the body. Clinically, they are investigated for treating growth hormone deficiencies.
