Tesamorelin

Tesamorelin is a research peptide made to copy GHRH, a natural signal that tells the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. That signal also affects IGF-1, another important part of the body's growth-hormone system. Researchers study Tesamorelin because this pathway is connected to body composition, abdominal fat, fat metabolism, blood sugar, and tissue growth. Tesamorelin is also well known in medical research because a prescription form has been approved for a specific condition involving excess abdominal fat in adults with HIV. That history makes its GHRH, growth-hormone, and IGF-1 pathways especially well studied.
