Ipamorelin Mechanism

Meaning

The specific biological action of Ipamorelin, a selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) peptide, which stimulates the pituitary gland to release endogenous growth hormone (GH). This pentapeptide is characterized by its high selectivity for the ghrelin/GH secretagogue receptor (GHSR) without significantly affecting the release of other pituitary hormones like cortisol or prolactin. Its clinical utility lies in safely augmenting the pulsatile secretion of GH.
