Sequential measurements were made of muscle strength (one repetition maximum), body composition (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry), and circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding protein-3
It is also sold as research-grade vials for off-label study
Ipamorelin binding at GHS-R1a in the hypothalamus and pituitary triggers downstream signaling cascades that promote GH secretion, an area of active investigation in neuroendocrine research, and studies have used the compound to help elucidate how ghrelin-receptor pathways regulate GH pulsatility, making it a frequently cited tool compound in the somatotropic-axis literature
Several short-term studies aiming to increase GH in older adults using a variety of interventions, including exercise, GH administration, or GH secretagogues, have demonstrated consistent effects on body composition but inconsistent effects on physical and cognitive function
