How to read this list

These are the ipamorelin references cited throughout the digest, numbered to match the bracketed markers [N] on every page. Where a study is on a related compound rather than ipamorelin itself — CJC-1295, a different ghrelin-receptor agonist, or GH-axis background — the entry and the in-text use say so plainly. Each entry carries a DOI or a PubMed link so you can read the source directly. Nothing on this site makes a quantitative claim that isn't tied to one of these.
