Growth hormone (GH)-releasing peptide-6 requires endogenous hypothalamic GH-releasing hormone for maximal GH stimulation

This study examined the effects of growth hormone-releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6) on growth hormone (GH) secretion in healthy male volunteers, demonstrating that GHRP-6 significantly stimulates GH release, with its effects largely dependent on the presence of endogenous growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). When participants were pretreated with a GHRH antagonist, the GH

Plasma GH responses to human GHRH-antagonist in normal subjects

This clinical trial investigated the effects of a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) antagonist on plasma growth hormone (GH) levels in healthy individuals. The results showed that the GHRH antagonist significantly reduced GH secretion, demonstrating the pivotal role of endogenous GHRH in regulating GH release. This finding suggests that GHRH antagonists
