What is Hexarelin?
Hexarelin is a high-purity synthetic hexapeptide designed exclusively for laboratory research. As a potent growth hormone secretagogue, Hexarelin stimulates growth hormone (GH) release by binding to ghrelin receptors in the pituitary gland, offering a valuable tool for studying neuroendocrine regulation and somatotropic pathways. Supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution, Hexarelin provides researchers with a robust compound to investigate GH-related mechanisms in experimental settings.

Research Applications:
Hexarelin is extensively used in preclinical studies to explore its effects on GH secretion, cardiac function, and tissue repair in cellular and animal models. Research focuses on its ability to enhance GH release, which influences protein synthesis, muscle development, and lipid metabolism. Studies also investigate its potential cardioprotective effects and role in modulating appetite and energy balance, providing insights into mechanisms of growth regulation, metabolic disorders, and ghrelin receptor signaling pathways.
