The Peptide Encyclopedia
Independent, sourced profiles of 30+ peptides. Each entry flags regulatory status honestly — approved medicine, research chemical, or somewhere in between — and links to primary research.
8 peptides
A long-acting growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog. The DAC variant was studied in early human pharmacokinetic trials.
A growth-hormone-releasing peptide and ghrelin-receptor agonist used as a diagnostic agent for growth-hormone deficiency in some countries.
A first-generation growth-hormone-releasing hexapeptide and ghrelin-receptor agonist studied for GH stimulation and appetite effects.
A potent synthetic growth-hormone-releasing hexapeptide studied for GH release and cardiovascular effects in early research.
A selective growth-hormone secretagogue (ghrelin-receptor agonist) studied for its ability to stimulate growth-hormone release with minimal effect on cortisol or prolactin.
A modified, stabilized fragment of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (1-29) studied alongside ghrelin-receptor agonists in research settings.
A growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog historically used in diagnostic testing of pituitary function; once marketed as Geref.
A stabilized growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog approved (as Egrifta) to reduce excess abdominal fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy.
