Description
Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide that is composed of five amino acids, otherwise known as a pentadecapeptide (Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2), formally classified as a Growth Hormone Secretagogue (GHS). Its name is derived from the intention of its development. Ipamorelin peptide was designed to act via ghrelin receptor binding. The ghrelin receptors on the pituitary gland (the gland naturally involved with growth hormone, or hGH synthesis) are also known as Growth Hormone Secretagogue receptors (GHS-R). Through its implied action, Ipamorelin may host the potential to trigger the GHS-Rs on the pituitary gland and potentially stimulate the release of growth hormone.(1)
Overview
Ipamorelin is the first synthetic GHS that appears highly selective and may have the potential to augment the production of hGH without affecting other pituitary hormones such as prolactin or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). The potential increase in hGH might promote lipolysis and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) production synthesis. Consequently, IGF-1 may become a mediator of hGH’s anabolic actions, and thereby the peptide may act to increase cellular proliferation and bone and muscle anabolism.(1)
