Growth hormone response to growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 in growth hormone-deficient Little mice
OBJECTIVE To investigate a possible direct, growth hormone-releasing, hormone-independent action of a growth hormone secretagogue, GHRP-2, in pituitary somatotroph cells in the presence of inactive growth hormone-releasing hormone receptors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The responses of serum growth hormone to acutely injected growth hormone-releasing P-2 in lit/lit mice, which represent a model of ...
متن کاملGrowth hormone (GH)-releasing peptide-6 requires endogenous hypothalamic GH-releasing hormone for maximal GH stimulation.
GH-releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6) is a potent GH secretagogue that releases GH by uncertain mechanisms. To assess whether GHRH is required for GH release by GHRP-6 in humans, we used the specific antagonist to GHRH (N-Ac-Tyr1,D-Arg2)GHRH(1-29)NH2 (GHRH Ant). We have previously shown that GHRH-Ant (400 microg/kg) blocked the GH response to 0.33 and 3.3 microg/kg boluses of GHRH by 95% and 81%, res...
متن کاملGrowth hormone (GH)-releasing peptide stimulation of GH release from human somatotroph adenoma cells: interaction with GH-releasing hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, and octreotide.
The synthetic hexapeptide GH-releasing peptide (GHRP; His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) specifically stimulates GH secretion in humans in vivo and in animals in vitro and in vivo via a still unknown receptor and mechanism. To determine the effect of GHRP on human somatotroph cells in vitro, we stimulated cell cultures derived from 12 different human somatotroph adenomas with GHRP alone and in co...
متن کاملThe somatotropic axis in critical illness: effect of continuous growth hormone (GH)-releasing hormone and GH-releasing peptide-2 infusion.
Prolonged critical illness is characterized by protein hypercatabolism and preservation of fat depots, associated with blunted GH secretion, elevated serum cortisol levels, and low insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations. In this condition, GH is readily released in response to a bolus of GHRH and GH-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP-2) and, paradoxically, to TRH. We further explored the al...
