Growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH), also known as somatocrinin among other names in its endogenous form and as somatorelin in its pharmaceutical form, is a releasing hormone of growth hormone (GH). It is a 44 [1]-amino acid peptide hormone produced in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus.
The hypothalamic–pituitary–somatotropic axis (HPS axis), or hypothalamic–pituitary–somatic axis, also known as the hypothalamic–pituitary–growth axis, is a hypothalamic–pituitary axis which includes the secretion of growth hormone (GH; somatotropin) from the somatotropes of the pituitary gland into the circulation and the subsequent stimulation of insulin-like growth factor 1 ...
Secretion of growth hormone (GH) in the pituitary is regulated by the neurosecretory nuclei of the hypothalamus. These cells release the peptides growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH or somatocrinin) and growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH or somatostatin) into the hypophyseal portal venous blood surrounding the pituitary. GH release in ...
Somatorelin is a diagnostic agent for determining growth hormone deficiency. [1] It is a recombinant version of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Somatorelin has been used to study hormone deficiency (particularly growth hormone deficiency ), cognitive impairment, sleep disorders, and aging.

Growth hormone (GH l) is also called somatotropin (British: somatotrophin). The human form of growth hormone is known as human growth hormone, or hGH (ovine growth hormone, or sheep growth hormone, is abbreviated oGH). GH can refer either to the natural hormone produced by the pituitary (somatotropin), or biosynthetic GH for therapy. [citation ...
Berberine offers many potential benefits, from weight loss support to blood sugar regulation, says Alma Simmons, a registered dietitian nutritionist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
[2] [3] [4] It is a 29-amino acid polypeptide representing the 1–29 fragment from endogenous human GHRH, thought to be the shortest fully functional fragment of GHRH. [2] Sermorelin was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1997 for use as a treatment for children with growth hormone deficiency or growth failure. [5]
