Ipamorelin Improves Nitrogen Balance in Steroid-Treated Rats: Better Than GH Alone
Ipamorelin improved nitrogen balance and reduced urea synthesis in steroid-treated rats comparably to GH, demonstrating the GH secretagogue can counteract steroid-induced protein wasting as effectively as direct GH replacement.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Ipamorelin improved nitrogen balance and reduced urea synthesis in dexamethasone-treated rats comparably to GH injection, demonstrating GH secretagogue equivalence to direct GH for counteracting steroid-induced protein catabolism.
