Hexarelin (also known as Examorelin) is a synthetic six-amino-acid peptide and a potent growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that acts as an agonist at the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). Unlike endogenous ghrelin, Hexarelin does not stimulate appetite to the same degree, making it a valuable tool in studies focused on isolated growth hormone release pathways.
Hexarelin stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in a dose-dependent manner and has been investigated in preclinical research for its roles in growth hormone axis modulation, body composition studies, and cardiovascular function. Notably, Hexarelin has demonstrated cardioprotective properties in animal studies independent of its GH-releasing activity, suggesting direct interaction with cardiac receptors, which has made it a subject of significant interest in cardiovascular research.
For optimal stability, store lyophilised Hexarelin at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, store at 4°C and use within a short timeframe.
