Tesamorelin
hormonal compound
Tesamorelin is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone designed to modulate adipose tissue distribution and support metabolic homeostasis. It functions as a potent secretagogue to restore physiological hormonal signaling.
Research Areas
Mechanism of Action
Tesamorelin acts as a highly selective agonist for GHRH receptors on pituitary somatotrophs to stimulate the pulsatile secretion of endogenous growth hormone and elevate circulating IGF-1 levels.
Biological Pathways
Areas of Research Interest
Potential effects under study. Not all are established in humans.
- •Visceral fat reduction
- •Enhanced growth hormone secretion
- •Improved lipid profile management
- •Optimization of body composition
