It binds a distinct receptor population on somatotrophs via a phospholipase C / IP3 intracellular pathway separate from the cAMP route used by GHRH
A proper peptide therapy plan should begin with a consultation, medical history review, discussion of symptoms and goals, and lab testing when appropriate
