Gonadorelin- Summary
- KPV is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory tripeptide derived from the C-terminal of alpha-MSH. It powerfully suppresses intestinal and systemic inflammation via melanocortin receptors, making it valuable for IBD, gut healing, and wound repair.
- Gonadorelin is the synthetic form of endogenous GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone). It stimulates the pituitary to release LH and FSH, maintaining testicular function and testosterone production. Widely used alongside TRT to prevent testicular atrophy and preserve fertility.
- Half-Life
- Short half-life (~15–30 minutes), but effects persist longer due to receptor-level anti-inflammatory cascades
- ~2–4 minutes (extremely short); pulsatile dosing required to avoid desensitization
- Admin Route
- Oral, SubQ, Topical
- SubQ, Intranasal
