NOVEL GROWTH HORMONE FREE PEPTIDE

摘要

The present invention relates to novel growth hormone-releasing peptides and method for increasing the release of growth hormone levels in mammals. The novel peptides of this invention surprisingly are effective for releasing growth hormone levels in animals by replacing the natural amino acids in positions 1, 2 and 3, as well as derivatizing the N-terminal amino acid residue in human pancreatic islet tumor origin growth hormone-releasing factor.
