Abstract / Summary

Chronic GHRP-6 administration reduced post-infarct ventricular remodeling and improved systolic function in a permanent coronary ligation model, consistent with cytoprotective and anti-fibrotic effects mediated through growth hormone secretagogue receptor signalling.

Methods

Investigated as a preclinical (rat coronary ligation) in the field of endocrine research. The study design follows the methodology described in the published manuscript indexed under the identifiers listed above. Full methodological detail is available in the source publication via the PubMed or DOI link.

Results

Chronic GHRP-6 administration reduced post-infarct ventricular remodeling and improved systolic function in a permanent coronary ligation model, consistent with cytoprotective and anti-fibrotic effects mediated through growth hormone secretagogue receptor signalling.

Limitations

Preclinical rodent model only; clinical translation, optimal dose, and long-term cardiovascular safety in humans remain undefined.
