GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Hexapeptide-6) is one of the first synthetic growth hormone secretagogues characterized in the literature, operating through GHSR-1a (ghrelin receptor) activation. Beyond GH release, research has explored its gastroprotective properties (similar to BPC-157), hepatoprotective effects in fibrosis models, and anti-apoptotic signaling in pancreatic β-cells and cardiomyocytes.

Research Highlights

  • GHSR-1a agonist with robust GH and IGF-1 elevation in rodent models
  • Gastroprotective and anti-fibrotic properties comparable to BPC-157
  • Hepatoprotective: reduces hepatic stellate cell activation in fibrosis models
  • Appetite stimulation via ghrelin pathway — relevant to cachexia research
