Hexarelin (5mg)
Hexarelin (also known as Examorelin) is a synthetic analog of ghrelin and shares a high degree of structural similarity to GHRP-6. Both are research peptides made of six amino acids that mimic the function of the endogenous hormone ghrelin and stimulate the release of growth hormone (hGH) from anterior pituitary gland cells. The only difference between Hexarelin and GHRP-6 is the inclusion of a methyl group in the structure of Hexarelin. Like other ghrelin analogs, this peptide is reported by researchers to display a relative selectivity in its mode of action. However, researchers have commented that Hexarelin is also associated with an elevation in prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and consequently cortisol.[1][2] It has been extensively studied in relation to cardiac cell survival after ischemia and nutrient deprivation.
