Modified GRF has the same effects as GHRH. These effects include muscle growth (hypertrophy), accelerated wound healing, improved bone growth, enhanced fat burning, and accelerated metabolism. Modified GRF also has positive effects on the immune system and blood sugar regulation. 1. Mod GRF and the IntestineEarly research suggested that GH had positive effects on Crohn’s […]
MGF Levels Affected by AgeAs it turns out, the specific versions of IGF-1 that are produced depends on a number of factors. Age, steroid hormones, growth hormone, and other developmental cues all affect how IGF-1 is spliced and the final peptides that are produced. Age, in particular, has been found to have major influence on […]
1. Ipamorelin and Negative Corticosteroid EffectsGlucocorticoids, the class of corticosteroids commonly used to treat inflammation in conditions ranging from cancer to autoimmune disease, have a host of serious side effects that often limit their usefulness. Mitigating the side effects of glucocorticoids could provide for higher dosing of these medications and allow people to remain on […]
1. Hexarelin and the HeartHexarelin directly affects the heart by binding to the CD36 receptor and the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). Studies in mice suggest hexarelin protects heart cells from injury in the setting of heart attack by binding to these receptors and preventing cells from undergoing apoptosis (programmed cell death). Mice treated with […]
1. Improves MemoryThe role of physical activity in learning and memory formation has been under active investigation for some time now. Though the exact mechanism has remained elusive, there has always been reason to believe that physical activity improves cognition and learning, particularly when exercise is done immediately following a learning task. Originally, the benefit […]
1. GHRP-2 and Muscle StructureResearch in Yaks indicates that GHRP-2 can boost muscle growth in two ways: increased protein deposition and decreased protein degradation. The research showed that GHRP-2 can overcome natural growth plateaus that occur in yaks due to food deprivation, disease, and adverse environmental conditions (e.g. cold)[1]. The most profound finding from this […]
1. Fragment 176-191 and Blood SugarResearch in animals has revealed that the c-terminal end of hGH is primarily responsible for the protein’s hypoglycemic (lowering blood sugar) effects. Testing of at least six different fragments derived from this section of hGH has shown that fragment 176-191 is the most effective synthetic derivative of hGH for lowering […]
Myostatin is a protein produced by muscle cells themselves that inhibits muscle cell growth and differentiation. It is a member of the TGF-beta protein family and therefore is susceptible to inhibition by follistatin. Previous research has shown that animals lacking myostatin have significantly more muscle mass and are stronger than normal. This led scientists to […]
The short-peptide epithalon has been shown to promote proliferation of lymphocytes from the thymus during aging. This is important, as declining expression of lymphocyte interferon gamma is tightly implicated with decreasing immune function in the elderly. It is specifically postulated that epithalon can increase lymphocyte interferon gamma production, thus improving immune function in the elderly. […]
The Relationship of DSIP to SleepDespite its name, the connection between DSIP and sleep has been difficult to pin down. Following the initial study in rabbits, DSIP has undergone extensive investigation to determine its effects on sleep. Unfortunately, a pattern has been difficult to isolate. In some studies, DSIP promoted slow-wave sleep and suppressed paradoxical […]
