ipamorelin growth hormone secretagogue human study Research: Selective GH Ipamorelin vs GHRP-6: GH Secretagogue

It functions as a growth hormone secretagogue, stimulating the release of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) without directly influencing testosterone production

Increased expression of aromatase in obese/inflamed breast adipose tissue contributes to the cancers

Ipamorelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) that mimics ghrelin and binds to the ghrelin receptor in the brain, stimulating the release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland

In research models this produces a larger, cleaner GH pulse than either compound alone

Despite this, some studies suggest sermorelin may actually have antineoplastic effects in gliomas, a common family of brain tumors
