Research Overview
GHRP-6 is one of the earliest synthetic growth hormone releasing peptides. It served as a foundational compound for understanding ghrelin receptor pharmacology.
Mechanism of Action
Activates GHS-R1a receptors, stimulating GH release. Also significantly increases ghrelin-like appetite signaling and gastric motility.
Research Applications
Ghrelin receptor pharmacology, appetite signaling research, GH axis studies, gastric motility investigation, cardioprotection modeling.
Key Research Findings
Strong appetite stimulation distinguishes it from other GHRPs. Cardioprotective effects observed in ischemia-reperfusion models.
