How GH Secretagogues Modulate the Stress Axis: GHRP Effects on HPA Regulation
GH secretagogues modulate the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) stress axis through GABA, mineralocorticoid, and GH-related pathways, explaining their effects on cortisol and stress responses beyond GH release.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
GH secretagogues modulate HPA axis regulation through interactions with GABAergic, mineralocorticoid, and somatotropic pathways — explaining cortisol co-release during GH stimulation and the stress-axis implications of chronic GH secretagogue use.
