The pituitary gland is capable of responding to two successive doses of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH)
We have studied the serum growth hormone (GH) response to two consecutive doses of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) (50, 100, 200 micrograms) given 1, 2 or 3 h apart in seven adult males. The serum GH profile was analysed by deconvulution incorporating a variable half-life for GH. All three d...
