What is tesamorelin peptide used for in research?

Tesamorelin is studied mainly in growth hormone and fat metabolism research. It binds the same pituitary receptor as natural GHRH, so studies track how it raises GH pulses and, downstream, IGF-1. The best-known published data come from clinical trials of the approved drug in HIV-associated lipodystrophy, where researchers measured changes in visceral fat and blood lipids. 

Rat studies have looked at glucose tolerance, liver triglycerides and heart tissue. Labs also compare it with shorter GHRH analogs such as sermorelin, which uses only the first 29 amino acids. None of that published work describes our research product, which is sold for laboratory use only. To source tesamorelin for lab studies, choose a lot with its own COA.
