Description

Examorelin (Hexarelin) is a hexapeptide (His-D-2-methyl-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) that stimulates the release of growth hormone lease through binding to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). Hexarelin might have direct cardiovascular actions beyond growth hormone release and neuroendocrine effects. Europeptides and Mediolanum Farmaceutici were developing examorelin for the treatment of somatotropin deficiency.
