Growth Hormone Secretagogues

GHRP-6

Also known as: Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6

GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide (His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin receptor agonist. Developed by Bowers and Momany and first described in 1984, it was the first synthetic GHRP characterized and is defined by its pronounced appetite-stimulating effect — the strongest of any clinically studied GHRP. It has never been approved by the FDA or any regulatory agency and remains a research-only compound used off-label in the grey market.

Growth hormone releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6) ameliorates acute lung injury and its subsequent evolvement to interstitial fibrosis

Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome is a complex, characterized by acute onset, alveolar damage, and progressive hypoxemia. The subsequent proliferative phase drives to pulmonary fibrosis.

Growth hormone-releasing peptide 6 (GHRP-6) hydrogel for acute kidney injury therapy via metabolic regulation

Renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs), which are highly susceptible to injury during acute kidney injury (AKI), have notable regenerative effects on renal recovery after AKI. AKI-driven metabolic reprogramming of TECs plays a critical role in determining whether kidneys recover functionally or develop fibrosis.

Changes in Locomotor Activity Observed During Acute Nicotine Withdrawal Can Be Attenuated by Ghrelin and GHRP-6 in Rats

Background/Objectives: Ghrelin and growth hormone-releasing peptide 6 (GHRP-6) are peptides which can stimulate GH release, acting through the same receptor. Ghrelin and its receptor have been involved in reward sensation and addiction induced by natural and artificial drugs, including nicotine.
