GHRP-2, CRF, and Desmopressin: How Different Peptides Produce Different Stress Hormone Patterns

GHRP-2, CRF, and desmopressin each produced distinct ACTH response patterns (concordant vs discordant with cortisol), revealing how different peptide stimuli engage the stress axis through different mechanisms.
