Metabolism & Elimination Limited characterization of specific metabolic pathways has been published for both peptides: CJC-1295 (NO DAC): Peptidase-mediated degradation represents primary metabolic pathway Four amino acid substitutions provide enhanced resistance to dipeptidyl peptidase-IV Metabolites and degradation products not fully characterized in published literature Clearance from circulation within hours despite sustained pharmacodynamic effects Ipamorelin: Clearance of 0.078 L/h/kg in human pharmacokinetic studies Rapid elimination from plasma following distribution phase Metabolic pathways likely involve proteolytic cleavage at peptide bonds No significant accumulation observed with repeated dosing in animal models A notable pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic disconnect exists: despite relatively short plasma half-lives (30 minutes to 2 hours), growth hormone secretory effects persist for 6+ hours, suggesting either active metabolites, tissue retention, or persistent receptor signaling cascade activation

It interacts with DNA to form adductssuch as DNADNA and DNAproteins crosslinkswhich activate several signal transduction pathways that trigger cell death 74,76

Among these, GHK upregulated 47 DNA repair genes and modulated pathways relevant to follicle stem cell maintenance (Pickart et al., 2015)
