Ibutamoren
(MK-677) is a drug which acts as a potent,
orally active growth hormone secretagogue, mimicking the GH stimulating
action
of the endogenous hormone ghrelin. It has been demonstrated to increase
the
release of, and produces sustained increases in plasma levels of
several
hormones including growth hormone and IGF-1, but without affecting
cortisol
levels. It is currently under development as a potential treatment for
reduced
levels of these hormones, such as in growth hormone deficient children
or
elderly adults, and human studies have shown it to increase both muscle
mass and
bone mineral density, making it a promising therapy for the treatment
of frailty
in the elderly. It also alters metabolism of body fat and so may have
application in the treatment of obesity.
