Growth hormone axis
Tesamorelin
Stabilised GHRH analog referenced in growth hormone axis and body-composition research.
- Classification
- Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog
- Supplied form
- Lyophilized powder, research vial
- Storage
- Lyophilized powder is typically stored refrigerated or frozen and protected from light. Once reconstituted, solutions are generally kept refrigerated and handled under standard laboratory practice.
- Solubility
- Reconstituted with sterile or bacteriostatic water.
What Tesamorelin is
Tesamorelin is an analog of human GHRH modified for greater stability against enzymatic degradation compared with native GHRH(1-44).
Research context
Studies focus on endogenous growth hormone release, IGF-1 signalling, and visceral adipose tissue endpoints.
Handling in the laboratory
Supplied as a 10mg vial. Sensitive to repeated freeze-thaw cycles like most GHRH analogs.
Concentration reference
Working concentration is determined solely by the solvent volume added to the vial. The Lucent Life reconstitution calculator converts vial strength and solvent volume into mg/mL and U-100 syringe units. It performs unit math only and does not recommend any dosing, administration, or frequency.

Frequently asked
How does a GHRH analog differ from a GH secretagogue?
GHRH analogs act at the GHRH receptor, while secretagogues such as Ipamorelin act at the ghrelin/GHS receptor. The two pathways are often studied together.
