How GH Secretagogues Reverse Age-Related GH Decline: Restoring the Aging GH/IGF-I Axis
GH secretagogues progressively reversed age-related GH/IGF-I decline in rats through restoring hypothalamic-pituitary sensitivity, with combined GHRP + GHRH showing the most effective restoration in aged animals.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
GH secretagogues reversed age-related GH/IGF-I axis decline in aged rats by restoring hypothalamic GHRH sensitivity and pituitary responsiveness, with combined GHRP + GHRH achieving the most complete axis restoration for anti-aging neuroendocrine therapy.
