All Research ArticlesIpamorelin and CJC-1295: Growth Hormone Secretagogue Pharmacology
Ipamorelin studies describe GH release in defined experimental settings. Long-acting CJC-1295 DAC findings do not establish the No-DAC analog's half-life, pulse pattern, or synergy with ipamorelin.
Tesamorelin: A Stabilized GHRH Analog in GH-Axis Research
Tesamorelin is a stabilized analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone. This overview surveys its secretagogue mechanism, the GH/IGF-1 axis it engages, and the structural changes that extend its stability.
Melanocortin Receptor Subtypes (MC1R–MC5R) in Peptide Research
Five melanocortin receptors recognize α-MSH and related peptides, and closely related ligands behave differently at each. This overview follows the primary literature on how the subtypes were identified and how cyclic lactam ligands separate them.
