GH feedback occurs through modulation of hypothalamic somatostatin under cholinergic control: studies with pyridostigmine and GHRH.
We have studied the effect of increased cholinergic tone on the GH response to growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and on GH feedback, using pyridostigmine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. In six healthy male adult volunteers 120 mg oral pyridostigmine increased basal GH secretion compared to...
