Peptide Comparison

Dalargin vs TRH

Q: What is the difference between Dalargin and TRH?

Dalargin: Binds delta and mu opioid receptors with peripheral preference due to limited CNS penetration. TRH: Hypothalamic tripeptide (pGlu-His-Pro-NH2); binds TRH-R1/R2; stimulates TSH/prolactin release; direct CNS effects independent of thyroid axis including synaptic potentiation

Both are Neuro & Cognitive peptides.
