546,547 Olpasiran demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in Lp(a) levels, with a single dose of 9 mg or higher reducing Lp(a) concentrations by over 90% for several months (NCT03626662)
After 60, several critical systems are in decline simultaneously: Growth hormone (GH) secretion drops significantly with age, reducing IGF-1 levels that govern muscle maintenance, fat metabolism, and tissue repair Insulin sensitivity worsens progressively, increasing metabolic syndrome risk Inflammatory signalling chronic low-grade inflammation ("inflammaging") accelerates cellular damage Sleep architecture slow-wave sleep decreases, impairing the overnight GH pulse that drives recovery Peptides that target the GH axis secretagogues like sermorelin, CJC-1295, and ipamorelin work by stimulating the pituitary to release more of your own growth hormone
