Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide and growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that mimics the hormone ghrelin by selectively binding to GHSR-1a receptors in the body. This interaction stimulates growth hormone release from the pituitary, promoting anabolic processes related to energy balance, fat storage, and muscle development. By activating receptors both in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, ipamorelin supports functions such as appetite regulation and gastric motility, presenting potential benefits in treating conditions like postoperative ileus (POI) where enhanced gastric emptying is valuable.
