GHRP 6

Overview

GHRP-6 is being researched for its ability to stimulate endogenous growth hormone (GH) secretion and modulate appetite, metabolic functions, and the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Its mimicry of ghrelin makes it particularly useful in endocrinology and metabolic research.

Product Research

• Stimulation of Growth Hormone Secretion

  GHRP-6 stimulates a significant release of GH by acting on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Studies confirm that it works independently of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) [1].

• Ghrelin Receptor Activation

  GHRP-6 binds to the same receptor as ghrelin (GHSR-1a), resulting in increased GH secretion, appetite stimulation, and energy balance regulation [2].

• Cardioprotective Potential

  Animal studies have shown that GHRP-6 may improve left ventricular function and reduce myocardial fibrosis, suggesting its role in heart failure research [3].

• Effect on Glucose Homeostasis

  n type 1 diabetic patients, GHRP-6 was found to increase GH levels without significantly disturbing glucose homeostasis, indicating a potentially favorable safety profile in metabolic studies [4].

• Influence on ACTH and Cortisol Secretion

  GHRP-6 has been shown to stimulate adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol production in certain endocrine disorders, including Cushing’s disease [5].
