Expression of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor in pituitary adenomas and other neuroendocrine tumors.
Synthetic GH secretagogues (GHSs; GH-releasing peptides and their nonpeptide mimetics) stimulate GH release, activate the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis, and release PRL in vivo. Patients with acromegaly show an exuberant GH response to GHSs, whereas patients with pituitary-dependent ACTH-secret...
