Ipamorelin
GH SecretagogueAlso known as: NNC 26-0161
Overview
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone (GH) secretagogue and ghrelin mimetic. It stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in a pulsatile pattern that mimics natural GH secretion.
Mechanism of Action
Ipamorelin binds to the ghrelin receptor (GHSR) in the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, triggering GH release without significantly raising cortisol or prolactin levels—a key advantage over older GHRPs.
