Overview

About Hexarelin

Mechanism of action

Potent synthetic GHRP-6 analogue; binds GHS-R1a (ghrelin receptor); strongest GH-releasing peptide per mcg; also has direct cardiac protective effects via CD36 receptor.

Safety profile

Significant cortisol and prolactin elevation (more than other GHRPs); water retention; increased appetite; desensitization with prolonged use; fatigue. · Human clinical data; more cortisol/prolactin than ipamorelin; cardiac effects studied; tolerable

Research

Studies & key findings

  • Hexarelin is the most potent synthetic GHRP hexapeptide — Imbimbo et al. (Eur J Clin Pharmacol 1994) established a dose-response with GH peak concentrations of 3.9, 26.9, 52.3, and 55.0 ng/mL at escalating IV doses, with an ED50 of 0.5–0.64 µg/kg, while Ghigo et al. (JCEM 1994) showed hexarelin 2 µg/kg IV produced GH responses ~2-fold greater than maximal GHRH stimulation.
  • Hexarelin exerts growth hormone-independent cardioprotective effects through dual receptor action: CD36 scavenger receptor binding (Bodart et al., Circ Res 2002) mediates direct cardiac cell protection, while Locatelli et al. (Endocrinology 1999) confirmed these effects persist in hypophysectomized rats — demonstrating a cardiac receptor mechanism fully separate from pituitary GH secretion.
