Recent research & studies
- The effect of growth hormone-releasing hormone on cognition and brain connectivity in adults with cognition ranging from normal to mild cognitive impairment.
Cognitive decline with age and other clinical conditions are linked with reduced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function. Stimulating the HPA axis with supplemental growth hormone (GH) treatment can improve cognition, however, potential direct effects of stimulation with growth hormone releasing hormone…
- Tesamorelin as an Adjunct to Exercise for Improving Physical Function in HIV (TRIUMPH): a clinical trial protocol.
Background: The Tesamorelin as an Adjunct to Exercise for Improving Physical Function in HIV (TRIUMPH) study is a randomised controlled trial with the overall goal of examining the combined effect of exercise and the growth hormone-releasing hormone analogue tesamorelin on…
- Body Composition and Adipose Tissue in HIV
In this study, the investigators will examine the effect of therapy with the Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog tesamorelin on body composition in patients with HIV lipodystrophy and central adiposity. This study is a single arm prospective study of…
- Tesamorelin as an Adjunct to Exercise for Improving Physical Function in HIV
People with HIV experience earlier impairments in physical function compared to people in the general population. They also exhibit an earlier presentation and more rapid development of frailty, a multisystemic syndrome of aging characterized by reduced activity, fatigue, slowness, weakness,…
- Differing Presentations of Excess Visceral Abdominal Fat in People Living With HIV: Two Clinical Cases Highlighting Distinct Therapeutic Pathways With Tesamorelin and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists.
Background: Excess visceral abdominal fat (EVAF) is a prevalent metabolic complication among people living with HIV-1 (PLWH), occurring even in individuals with normal or mildly elevated body mass index (BMI). This pattern of fat accumulation is associated with metabolic dysfunction,…
- Injectable Peptides in Sports Medicine: A Structured Narrative Review of Evidence, Safety, and Antidoping Implications.
Background: Injectable peptides are increasingly promoted for musculoskeletal recovery, tissue repair, and performance enhancements; however, clinical adoption has outpaced high-quality evidence and regulatory consensus. Purpose: To summarize contemporary human and translational evidence (January 1, 2020-August 31, 2025) for injectable peptides…
- Tesamorelin for Reduction of Liver Fat in Adults With Fatty Liver Disease (Mock Study)
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study evaluates whether daily subcutaneous tesamorelin (a growth hormone-releasing hormone analog) reduces liver fat in adults with fatty liver disease. Participants receive tesamorelin or matching placebo for 52 weeks, with standardized lifestyle counseling in…
- Phase II Trial of Tesamorelin for Cognition in Aging HIV-Infected Persons
The aim of this study is to test whether tesamorelin, in combination with a text-messaging application to help with motivation and adherence, will significantly improve memory and thinking in HIV.
- The emerging landscape of performance-enhancing peptides modulating GH-IGF1 axis: bridging the gap between clinical evidence and patient self-administration.
Performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) marketed as "research compounds" include unregulated peptides intended to modulate the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor-1 (GH-IGF-1) axis. The agents most commonly encountered in clinical practice and online self-administration protocols include growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogues (e.g., sermorelin,…
- Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Analog to Improve Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Associated Cardiovascular Risk
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in individuals with obesity and is a significant threat to public health, because it can lead to impaired liver function and liver failure. Growth hormone is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland…
