How does sermorelin help with weight loss?

The idea is indirect. Sermorelin tells the pituitary gland to release the body's own growth hormone, which affects how the body handles fat and muscle in general. This site's review found one study in people for sermorelin. It was a study in older men that measured hormone levels, not weight or body shape. So no study has confirmed that idea by measuring weight loss directly.
