Animal study

Pharmacokinetic evaluation of ipamorelin and other peptidyl growth hormone secretagogues with emphasis on nasal absorption

Johansen PB, Hansen KT, Andersen JV, et al. Xenobiotica 1998;28:1083-1092.

What it found

Ipamorelin was cleared from plasma about 5 times more slowly than GHRP-6 and was mainly excreted in urine. 60-80% of the dose of the newer peptides was recovered intact in bile and urine. Nasal bioavailability of ipamorelin was about 20%.
