GHRP-2 is a growth hormone-releasing peptide that has been shown to mimic the effects of ghrelin in the way that it increases appetite and stimulates the release of growth hormone. A study conducted by Peroni et. Al, examined the effect that two different dosages of GHRP-2 had on growth hormone secretion and overall body weight of mice.

In the initial experiment conducted by the researchers, wild-type C57BL mice were injected with either 1 microgram of GHRP-2 or 10 micrograms of GHRP-2. Following the injection, the mice were euthanized and their blood was collected for up to 1 hour after injection at various different points in time to measure the amount of growth hormone in the body. Results of the first study showed that the C57BL mice injected with 10 micrograms elicited a far stronger secretion in GH than the mice injected with 1 microgram. Furthermore, the results of the study showed that GH secretion reached a peak of 163 ng/ml about 5-10 after the initial injection. It was shown that 20 minutes after the injection levels of GH returned to their baseline levels.

A separate, independent study was conducted by Peroni et. Al that treated lit/lit mice with 10 micrograms of GHRP-2 for two weeks, and rather than collecting the data over one hour, data was collected every 3 to 4 days in order to measure body weight, release of GH, IGF-1 and leptin levels. Body weight measurements were used to calculate an acceptable and measurable growth curve. The results of this second study found that when injected with 10 micrograms of GHRP-2, there was an expected overall increase in body weight. Additionally, results showed little change in GH or IGF-1 levels, but there was a noted increase in leptin levels on day 15 indicating reduced appetite (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3297037/).

 

GHRP-2 and Weight Gain

An additional study conducted by Thang Long et. Al studied the dose-dependent effects of GHRP-2 treatment in cross-bred castrated male swine. Over the course of treatment, the pigs were injected with doses of 2, 10, 30, and 100 mcgs/kg of body weight. The researchers were measuring peak GH secretion as well as the area under the GH response curve. Following the treatment period, it was found that both the peak concentration of GH and the area under the GH response curve were both greater than those in the control group injected with saline. The study also concluded that with long-term GHRP-2 treatment the average daily weight gain increased by 22.35% while feed efficiency increased by 20.64%, however, the actual amount of food ingested did not vary by notable amounts. Overall the results found that in castrated male swine, GHRP-2 increased GH secretion and overall growth (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/12524642_The_effects_of_growth_hormone-releasing_peptide-2_GHRP-2_on_the_release_of_growth_hormone_and_growth_performance_in_swine).

Peptides Prefer the Cold
In order to reduce peptide breakdown, keep peptides refrigerated at all times but DO NOT FREEZE.
Swab the top of the vial with 95% alcohol wipe before accessing.
Only Mix with Sterile Bacteriostatic Water
Bacteriostatic water is vital to preventing contamination and preserving the stability of the compound.
Push the needle through the stopper at an angle in order to direct the stream to the side of the vial.
Reconstituted peptide solution should be stored around 4 degrees Celsius but not frozen, while lyophilized peptide solution should be kept at -20 degrees Celsius.

GHRP-2 is sold for laboratory research use only. Terms of sale apply. Not for human consumption, nor medical, veterinary, or household uses. Please familiarize yourself with our Terms & Conditions prior to ordering.
