Description
A peptide agonist of GHS-R; selectively binds to GHS-R over CD36 (IC50s = 15.9 and 2,080 nM, respectively); increases plasma growth hormone levels in neonatal rats at 300 µg/kg; improves left ventricular function and reduces fibrosis in a transient LAD ligation-induced mouse model of myocardial ischemia at 0.3 mg/kg per day
