Tesamorelin is a stabilised synthetic analogue of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It binds pituitary GHRH receptors to stimulate endogenous growth-hormone and IGF-1 release; clinical research has focused on its measured effect on visceral (deep abdominal) adipose tissue in HIV-associated fat accumulation.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab · 2010
A pooled analysis of two phase-3 trials reported that tesamorelin reduced visceral adipose tissue in HIV patients with excess abdominal fat.
