GHRP-6
PH-GHRP6-001
Specifications
Description
GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) is a synthetic hexapeptide that potently stimulates growth hormone release through ghrelin receptor activation. This first-generation GHRP also significantly increases appetite.
Mechanism of Action
GHRP-6 binds to the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor, triggering pulsatile GH release from the pituitary. Studies demonstrate utility in diagnosing GH deficiency (Popovic et al., 1996) and GH responses in hypothyroid patients (Mazza et al., 1997).
Research Applications
- GH deficiency diagnostics (Popovic et al., 1996)
- Hypothyroidism GH studies (Mazza et al., 1997)
- Appetite and feeding research
- Ghrelin receptor pharmacology
