What it is
GHRP-6 is the original synthetic growth-hormone-releasing hexapeptide, developed before the ghrelin receptor itself was identified. It is used to study secretagogue signalling and has a well-characterised effect on appetite in animal models.
Where it has been studied
- Ghrelin receptor signalling
- Growth hormone pulsatility studies
- Cardioprotection models
