MOTS-c Peptide and its Potential in Cellular Metabolism
Mitochondria are considered the “powerhouse” of the cell due to their role in delivering cellular functions, including but not limited to cellular metabolism, growth and development, and survival activities. However, with increased age, mitochondrial activities...
Gonadorelin Peptide: Studies in Gondotropin Release and Synthesis
Gonadorelin is a synthetic peptide possessing ten amino acids, and all are joined in a sequential form.(1) Structurally similar to the endogenous GnRH, Gonadorelin has 1-2 amino acid changes within the sequence.(2) Identical to the naturally present GnRH hormones,...
Oxytocin Peptide and Studies in Labor Induction
Oxytocin is a naturally occurring cyclic peptide hormone composed of nine amino acids. It mainly acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and is secreted by the pituitary gland.(1) The synthetic form of Oxytocin, called Recombinant Oxytocin, is also a cyclic...
Overview of Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2 (GHRP-2)
What are Growth Hormone Secretagogues? Growth Hormone secretagogues are a group of substances that induce the release of Growth Hormone. These include synthetically developed agonists of Growth Hormone/Ghrelin secretagogue hormone receptors (Ghrelin, GHRP-2, GHRP-6)...
Research Implications of Melanotan 2 Peptides
Melanotan 2 peptide is a synthetic analog developed to mimic the mechanism of action of alpha-MSH. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone 2 (MSH-2) is similar to MSH-1 in potency, range of receptors, and activity but is considered to posses greater stability, blood-brain...
GHRP & CJC-1295 Peptide Studies in Longevity
This article summarizes how GHRPs and CJC-1295 peptide have been studied synergistically in growth hormone replacement, as seen in animal research models. Growth hormone is biochemically pivotal. It increases chondrocytes (cartilage cells), resulting in bone growth....
MGF Peptide and Research in Muscle Cells
What is MGF Peptide? Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a derivative of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), a hormone with a molecular structure similar to insulin. MGF is a peptide product of peptide splicing and is closely correlated with IGF-1. The hormone IGF-1,...
Overview of Sermorelin Peptide
Sermorelin is a polypeptide of 29 amino acids, typically employed in research related to growth hormone deficiency. It is reportedly the bioactive component of (GHRH). Sermorelin peptide is therefore classified as an analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)...
Comparing TB-500 and BPC-157 Studies in Tissue Damage
TB-500 is a synthetically produced thymosin beta 4, a protein produced by the thymus. Researchers have often cited this compound in studies related to damaged tissue repair, as it exhibits the potential to hasten healing through several mechanisms, including possible...
