Hexarelin
Overview
Hexarelin is a synthetic growth hormone releasing peptide and ghrelin receptor agonist. It is commonly discussed in research settings as a potent GH secretagogue, but it has a higher tendency than some alternatives to affect prolactin and cortisol signalling.
How it works
Binds the growth hormone secretagogue receptor GHS-R1a, stimulating pituitary growth hormone release. It may also produce cardioprotective signalling in preclinical models and can influence ACTH, cortisol and prolactin depending on exposure.
Primary uses
- Growth hormone stimulation
- GH secretagogue research
- Recovery research
- Cardiac tissue research
- IGF-1 signalling
Storage and preparation
Store lyophilised powder at -20°C long term or 2-8°C short term. Protect from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, refrigerate and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water or sterile water. Add diluent slowly down the vial wall, gently swirl, and do not shake.
