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, GHRP-6 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 GHRP-6.

    Summary
    Molecular modeling and docking showed that ginkgoghrelins as well as GHRP-6 could fit in and adequately interact with the binding pocket of the ghrelin receptor.

    In this study, GHRP-6 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 GHRP-6.
