What It Is
Tesamorelin is a synthetic 44-amino-acid peptide analog of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH). It features a trans-3-hexenoic acid modification at the N-terminus, which enhances its enzymatic stability and resistance to rapid cleavage by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), allowing it to effectively stimulate GHRH receptors in the anterior pituitary.
What It Is Commonly Used For
-
Visceral Adipose Reduction: Studied extensively for its ability to target and mobilize deep visceral adipose tissue (VAT) without causing significant loss of subcutaneous fat.
-
IGF-1 Modulation & GH Secretion: Evaluated for inducing natural pulsatile endogeneous growth hormone release, subsequently elevating circulating IGF-1 levels.
-
Metabolic & Lipid Profiles: Researched in clinical models for improving triglyceride clearance, hepatic lipid density, and overall body composition markers.
General Purpose
To provide a stable GHRH analog reference compound for investigating targeted visceral lipolysis, pituitary GHRH receptor dynamics, and systemic metabolic parameters in laboratory research.
