CJC-1295 with DAC

Description

Pharmacokinetics

CJC-1295 with DAC is an analog of the endogenous peptide growth hormone-releasing hormone, or GHRH. GHRH binds to a specific receptor called growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor, or GHRHR, and proceeds to block growth hormone production.[2] Regular functioning of GHRH restricts the amount of growth hormone released into the body. This is due to GHRH’s short half-life.[3] Within the same systems, CJC-1295 with DAC intercepts and binds itself to GHRHR. Having a much longer half-life, CJC-1295 with DAC potentially results in longer secretion of growth hormones.[3]

Scientific Studies

There are several studies relating to CJC-1295 with DAC and its effects. A study on healthy adults pointed towards increased growth hormone levels. Adults widely varying in age were injected with CJC-1295 with DAC. Subjects were observed to have greater amounts of growth hormones within their blood.[3] A study on rats demonstrated the longer half-life of the peptide, as subjects appeared to have higher levels of growth hormone than typical over several hours.[4]
