Overview

About Sermorelin

Mechanism of action

Synthetic analogue of first 29 amino acids of GHRH; binds pituitary GHRH receptors to stimulate natural pulsatile GH secretion. Preserves pituitary function unlike exogenous HGH.

Safety profile

Injection site reactions, flushing, headache, dizziness, water retention. Generally well-tolerated. May increase cortisol slightly. · Was FDA-approved (discontinued for commercial reasons, not safety); injection site reactions; well-tolerated

Studies & key findings

  • Sermorelin is a synthetic analogue of the first 29 amino acids of endogenous GHRH [GHRH(1-29)-NH2]; it stimulates endogenous pituitary GH secretion by binding pituitary GHRH receptors — unlike exogenous somatropin, it preserves the hypothalamic-pituitary feedback axis and physiological pulsatile GH secretion patterns.
  • The Geref International Study Group multicenter trial (JCEM 1996, n=110 GHD children) demonstrated that once-daily subcutaneous sermorelin 30 µg/kg increased mean height velocity from 4.1 to 8.0 cm/year after 6 months; however, a direct comparison study (PMID 8329830) confirmed somatropin achieved faster growth (14.6 vs ~9 cm/year), establishing sermorelin as a less potent but mechanistically distinct alternative.
