🧬 WHAT IS TESAMORELIN?
Tesamorelin is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue.
Researchers study how GHRH signaling stimulates the pituitary gland, which can increase endogenous growth-hormone secretion and downstream IGF-1 signaling.
Tesamorelin also has an established human clinical history. FDA-approved tesamorelin products exist for a specific indication involving excess abdominal fat in adults with HIV and lipodystrophy.
That specific approval should not be generalized to ordinary weight loss, bodybuilding, anti-aging, or unapproved research products.
In simple terms: tesamorelin works upstream in the growth-hormone pathway by acting through GHRH signaling.
Stay curious, research friends. 🧬
