- Use Ipamorelin for: clean GH axis research where cortisol and prolactin confounding must be minimised; body composition and anabolic research where appetite control is important; studies examining GH effects on IGF-1 without hypothalamic-adrenal axis confounding; longer-term protocols where sustained cortisol elevation would create welfare concerns in animal models.
- Use GHRP-6 for: research specifically studying the broader ghrelin receptor system including its adrenocortical effects; appetite and food intake research (where GHRP-6’s strong orexigenic effect is the endpoint of interest); historical comparison purposes — as the reference secretagogue from the literature; dose-response characterisation of GHS-R1a across multiple receptor-mediated outcomes simultaneously.
