Results from this study1

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Sermorelin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Sermorelin.

    In human mammary, prostatic and pancreatic cancer cells, the GHRH antagonist MZ-5-156 at 100 to 200 nM inhibited GHRH-induced cAMP release.

    In plain wordsIn lab-grown human cancer cells, the drug MZ-5-156 blocked the cAMP signal that GHRH normally triggers.

    Summary
    GHRH antagonist MZ-5-156 at 100 to 200 nM concentration inhibited the GHRH- or VIP-induced cAMP release from mammary (MDA-MB-468), prostatic (PC-3), and pancreatic (SW-1990 and CAPAN-2) cancer cells.

    Summary · context
    Various human cancer cell lines were exposed to human GHRH(1-29)NH2 (2-20 nM) or VIP (0.1-5 nM) repeatedly for 12 min or continuously for 96 min.

    In this study, Sermorelin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Sermorelin.
