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.

  1. 01LabNot a test of GHRP-6 aloneIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In MH7A synovial cells, D-Lys-GHRP‑6 significantly reversed ghrelin-induced apoptotic effects.

    In plain wordsIn cells, D-Lys-GHRP‑6 reduced the apoptotic effects of ghrelin compared with ghrelin stimulation.

    Summary · context
    The results of flow cytometry and TUNEL showed that ghrelin could induce apoptosis of MH7A synovial cells.
    Summary · context
    Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the apoptotic effects of ghrelin on MH7A synovial cells in vitro.
