GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide 6) is a man-made agonist of ghrelin. It is used to treat children with growth hormone deficiency, adult GH deficiency, catabolic stats, and obesity. It is manufactured as a GHRP-6 10mg/vial injection which contains Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide 6 10mg and excipients.

GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide 6) Mechanism of Action

GHRP-6 is a synthetic analog of ghrelin. Ghrelin is well known for its actions in stimulating hunger and appetite. However, it also stimulates the release of growth hormone by acting on the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide-6 also exerts these same effects on GHSR. It is still unclear the exact mechanism for GH release after the GHSR is stimulated. However, studies have shown that it acts directly on the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, as well as GHRH and somatostatin.
