- One of the more nuanced findings from preclinical endocrine research is the importance of preserving GH pulsatility. The natural pulsatile pattern of GH secretion — driven by alternating GHRH and somatostatin dominance in the hypothalamus — has different downstream effects than tonically elevated GH. Many target tissue responses to GH are more robust when GH is delivered in pulses rather than continuously.
- Tesamorelin's intermediate half-life (longer than native GHRH, shorter than CJC-1295) makes it particularly well-suited for studies where the researcher wants to deliver a defined GH pulse but also control the timing and duration of that pulse more precisely than is possible with rapidly degraded native GHRH.
