Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide

Meaning

A Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide (GHRP) is a synthetic or naturally occurring peptide that stimulates the release of Growth Hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. These peptides act as secretagogues, mimicking the action of ghrelin, the endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor (GHSR). They are utilized clinically to enhance endogenous GH pulsatility, supporting various physiological functions related to tissue repair, body composition, and metabolic health.
