GHRP-6 Protects Brain Cells From Glutamate Excitotoxicity — A Survival Factor for Neurons
GHRP-6 acted as a neuronal survival factor against glutamate excitotoxicity, protecting brain cells from the most common mechanism of stroke and neurodegenerative damage — GH-independent neuroprotection.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
GHRP-6 protected neurons from glutamate-induced excitotoxic death through survival signaling pathway activation, demonstrating direct GH-independent neuroprotection against the primary mechanism of stroke and neurodegenerative brain cell death.
