Pulsatile growth hormone secretion in normal man during a continuous 24-hour infusion of human growth hormone releasing factor (1-40). Evidence for intermittent somatostatin secretion.
Growth hormone (GH) secretory patterns were studied in a patient with ectopic growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) secretion and in normal men given continuous infusions of human growth hormone releasing factor (1-40)-OH (hGRF-40). In the patient with ectopic GRF secretion, GH secretion was pulsatile despite continuously elevated immunoreactive GRF levels. To determine if pulsatile GH secretio...
متن کاملPulsatile growth hormone secretion persists in genetic growth hormone-releasing hormone resistance.
Growth hormone (GH) secretion is regulated by GH-releasing hormone (GHRH), somatostatin, and possibly ghrelin, but uncertainty remains about the relative contributions of these hypophysiotropic factors to GH pulsatility. Patients with genetic GHRH receptor (GHRH-R) deficiency present an opportunity to examine GH secretory dynamics in the selective absence of GHRH input. We studied circadian GH ...
متن کاملGrowth hormone-releasing peptides.
Growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs) are synthetic, non-natural peptides endowed with potent stimulatory effects on somatotrope secretion in animals and humans. They have no structural homology with GHRH and act via specific receptors present either at the pituitary or the hypothalamic level both in animals and in humans. The GHRP receptor has recently been cloned and, interestingly, it do...
متن کاملGrowth hormone releasing hormone or growth hormone treatment in growth hormone insufficiency?
Sixteen prepubertal children who were insufficient for growth hormone were treated with growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) 1-40 and GHRH 1-29 for a mean time of nine months (range 6-12 months) with each peptide. Eleven children received GHRH 1-40 in four subcutaneous nocturnal pulses (dose 4-8 micrograms/kg/day) and eight (three of whom were also treated with GHRH 1-40) received GHRH 1-29 ...
متن کاملGrowth Hormone-Releasing Hormone in Diabetes
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) is produced by the hypothalamus and stimulates growth hormone synthesis and release in the anterior pituitary gland. In addition, GHRH is an important regulator of cellular functions in many cells and organs. Expression of GHRH G-Protein Coupled Receptor (GHRHR) has been demonstrated in different peripheral tissues and cell types, including pancreatic isl...
