Used as a growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). It selectively stimulates the release of growth hormone via the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) without significantly increasing appetite or cortisol levels. Applied in research for age-related muscle wasting, frailty, and potential growth hormone deficiency treatments.
