Research Applications
Growth Hormone Secretion & Endocrine Regulation
The Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin combination has been shown to synergistically elevate GH secretion by stimulating both GHRH and GHS receptors, creating a potent dual activation of the somatotropic axis [Bowers 2001].
Metabolic & Lipolytic Research
Tesamorelin increases lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation, reducing visceral adipose tissue while maintaining lean mass in metabolic disorder models [Falutz 2010]. Ipamorelin complements this by enhancing GH pulsatility without affecting cortisol or prolactin levels [Raun 1998].
Muscle & Tissue Regeneration
Through GH/IGF-1 signaling activation, this dual blend promotes protein synthesis, muscle regeneration, and recovery, serving as a research model for cellular growth and differentiation studies [Veldhuis 2005].
Neuroprotective & Mitochondrial Studies
GH and IGF-1 have demonstrated neuroprotective and mitochondrial support roles, suggesting potential utility for investigating neurodegenerative and aging-related processes [Frohman 2000].
