Somatropin (rHGH)

Recombinant human growth hormone bioidentical to endogenous 191-aa GH. FDA-approved for GH deficiency, HIV wasting, Turner syndrome, and Prader-Willi syndrome. Stimulates IGF-1, lipolysis, and lean mass accrual directly via GHR receptors.

Ghrelin

Ghrelin is the endogenous 28-aa octanoylated peptide from the stomach that activates GHS-R1a to stimulate GH release and appetite. All synthetic GHSPs were developed to mimic or improve upon ghrelin's GHS-R1a agonism.
