Alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonists stimulate growth hormone secretion but have no acute effects on plasma cortisol under basal conditions.
Ten normal male subjects were administered clonidine (0.1 and 0.2 mg) or a highly-selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist S 3341 (1 and 2 mg) on separate occasions in a double-blind randomised placebo-controlled study; blood samples were obtained for measurement of serum GH and plasma cortisol via an...
