What is the Origin of Sermorelin and Ipamorelin?

Sermorelin, a GHRH analog, was developed in the 1980s as a truncated version of the naturally occurring GHRH. Ipamorelin, a selective GHRP, emerged later, designed to mimic ghrelin's action without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin release. Their combined use in clinical practice is a strategy to maximize the physiological GH pulse amplitude and frequency.

What is the Mechanism of Sermorelin and Ipamorelin?

Sermorelin binds to GHRH receptors on the somatotrophs, directly stimulating GH synthesis and release. Ipamorelin acts on the ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a), further amplifying the GH pulse by inhibiting somatostatin and promoting a more robust release. The simultaneous activation of both pathways creates a powerful, yet physiological, release of GH, which then drives the production of IGF-1 from the liver.

Sermorelin and Ipamorelin

Meaning

Sermorelin and Ipamorelin are two distinct synthetic peptides classified as a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog and a Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide (GHRP) respectively, often utilized in combination to stimulate the pituitary gland. Their combined use aims to restore a more youthful, pulsatile pattern of endogenous growth hormone (GH) secretion. This synergistic approach supports anti-aging objectives, including improved body composition and tissue repair.
