Ipamorelin is peptide that consists of five amino acids, thus enabling it to be considered a pentapeptide. It is occasionally referred to by the alternate names Ipamorelin Acetate, IPAM, and NNC-26-0161. It is considered to be a secretogogue peptide, meaning that it can play a role in energy homeostasis as well as the regulation and control of body weight in animal test subjects. It contains a molecular formula of C₃₈H₄₉N₉O₅, and a molecular mass of 711.85296.

Similarities Between Ipamorelin and GHRP – 6

According to scientific study that has been based on animal test subjects, it has been determined that some of the functionality and operational mechanics of Ipamorelin have been shown to mirror that of the fellow secretogogue GHRP-6. For instance, studies have shown that both peptides work to stimulate the pituitary gland. This is the pea-shaped gland that is located at the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain that is chiefly responsible for the regulation and control of several endocrine system-related processes. Some of these processes include:

• Growth
• Metabolism
• Temperature Regulation
• Pain Relief
• Thyroid Gland Functionality

On a more specified level, scientific study that has been based on animal test subjects has shown that both secretogogues work to stimulate certain secretions from the pituitary that relate to growth. At the same time, they both have exhibited a tendency from allowing somatostatin to be produced. This is the secretion that is primarily responsible for inhibiting the release of the growth hormone, thus enabling a boosted level of secretion expression to happen within animal test subjects.

Further scientific study has determined that both Ipamorelin and GHRP-6 have the capacity to function in conjunction with the liver. Specifically, they both have exhibited a tendency to boost the production of IGF-1; a secretion that is sometimes known by its full scientific name of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1. This particular secretion has been deemed through scientific study that has been based on animal test subjects to be highly reactive in nature. This means that it allows for an elevated level of functionality in terms of muscle and tissue growth and repair to occur. When this secretion is combined with the actions related to the pituitary gland, the result is an animal test subject that can experience an elevated level of functionality in terms of muscle and tissue growth and repair amongst animal test subjects.
