GHRP-2 – 5MG/10MG

GHRP-2

GHRP-2 is a synthetic peptide made of five amino acids (pentapeptide) analogous to the endogenous neurotransmitter met-enkephalin. However, the peptide seems not to have any properties of a neurotransmitter but rather might act on ghrelin hormone receptors; Ghrelin is a hormone that is secreated naturally in the body and it has been assumed to regulate food intake. The growth hormone-releasing peptide GHRP-2 also induces GH secretion by activating the ghrelin receptors on the pituitary gland, and that is likely medi ated via what has been termed growth hormone secretagogue receptors (GHS-Rs).

Overview of GHRP-2 Mechanisms

Based on bovine studies, GHRP-2 peptide have shown a variety of effects, but the overwhelming mechanism of GHRP-2 appears to be its action on release of GH via the GHS-Rs. Ghrelin receptors (which would normally be activated by ghrelin) are located throughout the nervous system and other tissues in the body. Within the nervous system, they are found inside the hypothalamus and pituitary, among other places. It has been suggested that before finally engaging with the available receptors at the membrane level, GHRPs do bind to an "undefined" protein which modifies their warhead structure so that they are recognized by specific GHS-R subtypes, especially by the type 1a receptor; when receptor binding occurs at the GH-secreting cells, intracellular signaling raises (Ca2+ release) and thereby augments ghrelin's pulsatile secretion into the bloodstream. The activation of G-protein subunit (Gαq/11) and significantly, this could initiate the subsequent signaling cascades. One such example includes phospholipase C (PLC) which splits up a key membrane lipid, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), into secondary signaling mediators IP3 and DAG (diacylglycerol). In turn, IP3 may induce the release of calcium ions. On the contrary, DAG could activate protein kinase C (PKC) and this may enhance signaling pathway leading to growth hormone secretion from pituitary cells. In addition, this mechanism may also induce cyclic AMP (cAMP) activation, one of the most significant elements in cellular signaling. This means that incrementing cAMP could also potently augment this pathway, increase GH synthesis. GHRP-2 seems to of cause receptor desensitization upon binding and this immediately after it of thought sensitivity last a full 4hrs before reversal.

This action appears to be GHS-R dependent, thus is very likely to act on all kinds of the nerve centers aside from the pituitary, by means of activating a cascade of [Ca 2+] transients leading not just in amplifying GH discharge, yet additionally expands manufacturing and circulation of hunger-stimulating neuropeptides Y (NPY) and Agouti associated healthy protein (AgRP). These peptides are considered important in the adjustment of appetite and metabolism. Conversely, GHRP-2 is actually thought to have the opposite effect by potentially inhibiting the secretion of the appetite-suppressing hormone, melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), therefore tipping this balance towards augmented hunger and dietary ingestion. Further, GHRP-2 may also stimulate the mesolimbic reward pathway which based on the initial studies contributed to the control of food intake via activation of GHSR-1a receptors. Of note, such an action would theoretically lead to increased motivation for food intake, possibly hitherto undescribed activation of the cAMP pathways as well (Aslani et al. 2016), prognosis that might in turn involve GHRP-2, affecting various appetite and reward-based eating regulation mechanisms.
