| Category | Growth Hormone Secretagogue | Growth Hormone Secretagogue |
| Evidence Rating | D — Preclinical | C — Phase I–II Clinical Trials |
| Clinical Status | Research-only / Not approved for human use | Approved in Japan for GH deficiency diagnosis; research-only elsewhere |
| Mechanism | CJC-1295 binds to GHRH receptors (GHRHR) on pituitary somatotroph cells, activating intracellular cAMP signaling to stimulate both the transcription of the GH gene and pulsatile release of endogenous growth hormone, which in turn increases IGF-1 levels. The released IGF-1 travels to muscle tissue fo... | GHRP-2 (C45H55N9O6) binds to and activates ghrelin (GH secretagogue) receptors on pituitary somatotrophs, triggering robust pulsatile GH release. In healthy adults, 100 mcg SC daily produces acute GH stimulation. Unlike continuous GH, GHRP-2 maintains physiological feedback controls. Once-daily admi... |
