How does sermorelin help with weight loss?

The proposed mechanism is indirect: sermorelin prompts the pituitary to release the body's own growth hormone, which influences fat and muscle metabolism generally. This site's review found one human citation for sermorelin, a study in older men measuring hormone levels rather than weight or body composition, so that mechanism has not been confirmed by a trial that directly measured weight loss as its outcome.
