Mechanism
Potent synthetic hexapeptide (examorelin) that agonizes GHSR-1a to stimulate GH release and also binds CD36, influencing cardiovascular and metabolic pathways.19212996
Peptide record
Hexarelin
Function
Investigated for effects on GH secretion, cardiac protection, and muscle metabolism, with higher GH secretory potency than earlier GHRPs.1929
