Tesamorelin – Research Use Only
Description:
Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), consisting of 44 amino acids. It has been studied for its ability to stimulate the release of endogenous growth hormone (GH), which in turn influences insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) production and downstream metabolic pathways. Research has focused on its potential role in lipid metabolism, muscle composition, and age-related hormonal decline.
Background:
Tesamorelin was developed as a stabilized analogue of GHRH with improved biological activity and half-life compared to the natural hormone. By binding to GHRH receptors in the pituitary gland, it has been shown in research to increase GH secretion and IGF-1 expression, both of which are essential for regulating growth, metabolism, and cellular repair. Studies have also examined Tesamorelin in the context of lipodystrophy, fat redistribution, and metabolic regulation.
Potential Areas of Research:
Growth hormone axis stimulation and IGF-1 regulation
Lipid metabolism and fat redistribution models
Muscle composition and protein synthesis pathways
Effects on age-related metabolic decline
Comparative research with other GHRH analogues and secretagogues
