The TRT protocol was remarkably suboptimal, with the treatment group averaging a post-treatment TT level of just 272 ng/dL
The location of the ascorbate-binding site overlaps with the GSH-binding site, suggesting a ping-pong kinetic mechanism for electron transfer at the common Cys20 active site
[12] GH release stimulates protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, which is the rationale for investigating GH secretagogues in catabolic states such as post-surgical recovery, critical illness, prolonged bedrest, and age-related muscle wasting (sarcopenia)

Ipamorelin and GHRP-6 stimulate GH release, which in turn increases protein synthesis and accelerates muscle regeneration
