What It Is

Tesamorelin is a synthetic version of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It is used in research to study the
pituitary gland, natural growth hormone release, IGF-1 and body-composition pathways.
Research Focus
• Growth hormone - activates GHRH receptors linked with natural GH release.
• IGF-1 - researchers measure how increased GH signalling changes IGF-1.
• Visceral fat - clinical studies have examined deep abdominal fat in specific groups.
• Metabolic markers - research also looks at blood fats, glucose markers and liver fat.

How It Is Studied

Tesamorelin acts before growth hormone in the signalling chain. It activates GHRH receptors in the pituitary, which
can lead to release of the body's own GH and then changes in IGF-1.

Glossary

• Analogue: A molecule designed to act like a natural molecule.
• GHRH: The natural signal that tells the pituitary to release GH.
• GH: Growth hormone.
• IGF-1: A hormone produced partly in response to GH.
