Growth-Hormone Secretagogues: GHRH Analogs vs GHRPs, Explained
Quick answer: Growth-hormone secretagogues are compounds that prompt the pituitary to release growth hormone, and they fall into two families that act on two different receptors. GHRH analogs, such as sermorelin, tesamorelin, and CJC-1295, bind the growth-hormone-releasing-hormone receptor. GHRPs, such as ipamorelin, bind the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). Because the two families act through independent pathways
