The half-life of exogenous growth hormone after suppression of endogenous growth hormone secretion with somatostatin.

We have estimated the half-life of serum growth hormone (GH) in six subjects on 14 occasions following an intravenous bolus injection of either 50 or 500 mU of biosynthetic human growth hormone (B-hGH) while endogenous GH secretion was suppressed by a continuous infusion of somatostatin. The disappe...
