    Product Description

    Sermorelin is a 29-residue N-terminal analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that retains the ability to stimulate growth hormone (GH) release.1 Sermorelin (1 μg/kg, i.v.) increases serum GH levels in rats by approximately 17% compared with saline control after 15 minutes.2 It also increases GH release in pigs when administered at a dose of 250 ng/kg.3 Sermorelin (1 μM) increases proliferation of NCI-H727 human bronchial carcinoid cells by 30% and increases vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion.4 It increases phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and expression of VEGF in A549 lung cancer cells when used at a concentration of 0.1 μM.5 Formulations containing sermorelin have been used to diagnose and treat growth hormone deficiency.
