A hypothalamic hormone that stimulates growth hormone synthesis and release from the pituitary. Sermorelin, tesamorelin, and CJC-1295 are synthetic GHRH analogues. GHRH peptides are often stacked with GHRPs for synergistic GH release.
"GHRH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone)" is filed under Pharmacology in the PeptideAtlas glossary, alongside 29 other terms in that group.
The proportion of a substance that enters the circulation when introduced into the body and is able to have an active effect. Different administration routes affect bioavailability.
The time required for the concentration of a substance in the body to decrease by half. Determines dosing frequency and accumulation patterns.
