- Kisspeptin-10
- Direct GnRH neuron activation via GPR54
- Immediate LH pulse restoration
- None. Bypasses metabolic signaling
- Human trials in HA populations (JCEM 2014)
- Diagnostic tool; restores pulsatility temporarily but does not address underlying energy deficit
- AOD9604
- Beta-3 adrenergic receptor activation; lipolysis
- Indirect. Signals improved energy availability
- Visceral fat reduction without insulin effects
- Preclinical + Phase II obesity trials; no HA-specific data
- Mechanistically sound for metabolic recovery; unvalidated in HA populations
- GHRP-2
- Ghrelin receptor agonist; pituitary GH secretion
- Mixed. May suppress kisspeptin if chronically elevated
- Anabolic signaling; GH-mediated lipolysis
- Preclinical reproductive endocrine models
- Requires pulsatile dosing; chronic use may worsen GnRH suppression
- Ipamorelin
- Selective ghrelin receptor agonist
- Minimal kisspeptin suppression vs GHRP-2
- GH-mediated lean mass retention
- Preclinical models; Phase II trials in sarcopenia
- Safer ghrelin mimetic profile; less reproductive suppression risk
