Ipamorelin
Growth-hormone-signal peptide
Ipamorelin is a small lab-made peptide from a family of molecules that prompt growth-hormone release. In research it is often described as one of the more precise-acting members of this family.
Also known as NNC 26-0161
How it is studied
It copies the body's hunger hormone (called ghrelin), which, besides signaling hunger, also prompts the brain gland to release growth hormone. Ipamorelin lands on that hunger hormone's docking spot — a different route than sermorelin's signal, but one that also leads to growth-hormone release.
Research context
Studied in laboratory research on the growth-hormone system and on this second, hunger-hormone route to growth-hormone release.
Research area
Growth-hormone & growth-factor (IGF) research. This group of research compounds is studied for how the body's growth-hormone system works. Growth hormone is a natural substance made by a small gland at the base of the brain. Some of these compounds copy the body's own signal that tells that gland to release growth hormone. Others are lab-made copies of growth hormone itself, or of a related messenger the body makes afterward. All are for laboratory research only.
