Sermorelin, also known as GHRH (1-29), is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue used as a diagnostic agent. It is a 29-amino acid polypeptide representing the 1–29 fragment from endogenous human GHRH, and is thought to be the shortest fully functional fragment of GHRH. It is used as a diagnostic agent to assess growth hormone (GH) secretion. It is also used as doping agent in sports due to its correlation with increased growth of muscular and skeletal tissue.[citation needed] Sermorelin use is also hypothesized to improve deep rapid eye movement sleep.

Biological Activity | Sermorelin Acetate is the acetate salt form of sermorelin, a synthetic, amidated 29-amino acid peptide that corresponds to the amino-terminal segment of the naturally occurring human growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Sermorelin acetate directly stimulates the pituitary gland, resulting in release of growth hormone leading to increased plasma growth hormone, which is responsible for many biological processes and counteracts growth hormone deficiency. |
