Growth hormone-releasing peptides

European Journal of Endocrinology, 1997
Abstract Growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs) are synthetic, non-natural peptides endowed with potent stimulatory effects on somatotrope secretion in animals and humans. They have no structural homology with GHRH and act via specific receptors present either at the pituitary or the hypothalamic level both in animals and in humans. The GHRP

The growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor

2001
Publisher Summary This chapter describes growth hormone (GH) as a polypeptide secreted by the somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland, is the primary stimulator of linear growth in vertebrates and is involved in the regulation of protein and fat metabolism.

GROWTH-HORMONE RELEASE BY GLUCAGON

The Lancet, 1969
Abstract Significant increments in serum-growth-hormone levels were found within 2-3 hours of subcutaneous administration of 1 mg. glucagon to both men and women. The response to glucagon corresponded to some extent to the decline in glucose but the values of growth hormone bore no relationship to the magnitude of the decrease.

Growth Hormone Release in Response to Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone in Term and Preterm Neonates

Biology of the Neonate, 2009
The growth hormone response to a single intravenous dose of human growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) was examined in 23 healthy neonates (12 term and 11 preterm) aged 2–4 days. There were no significant increases in growth hormone concentrations at any point in time studied following GHRH administration in either group of new-borns. The mean basal

Naloxone Inhibition of Postprandial Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone-Induced Growth Hormone Release in Obesity

Neuroendocrinology, 2008
The effects of opiate receptor antagonist naloxone on growth hormone (GH) release after growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) administration were investigated, before or after feeding, at 13.00 h, in 20 obese women and in 10 normal women. When GHRH was administered to obese women before a meal at lunch time, the mean peak plasma GH levels were very ...

Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone and Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides

1995
The regulation of growth hormone (GH) secretion in humans is a complex entity involving primary regulators and secondary modifiers that influence both the amount and pattern of GH release. The primary regulators are the hypothalamic hormones: somatostatin (SRIH) and growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH).

Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Receptor

Receptors and Channels, 2002
Growth hormone releasing hormone receptor (GHRH-R) is a class II G protein-coupled receptor required for normal growth hormone (GH) synthesis and release from the pituitary, and for the normal growth and proliferation of somatotrophs within the pituitary.

Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Inhibition of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone-Induced Growth Hormone Release in Man*

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1990
Recent studies in the rat have shown that intracerebroventricular administration of CRH inhibited spontaneous pulsatile GH secretion and prevented GH-releasing hormone (GHRH)-induced GH release. We have studied the effect of CRH on GHRH-induced GH release in man.

Growth hormone-releasing hormone and cancer

Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders
The hypothalamic hormone growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), in addition to promoting the synthesis and release of growth hormone (GH), stimulates the proliferation of human normal and malignant cells by binding to GHRH-receptor (GHRH-R) and its main splice variant, SV1. Both GHRH and GHRH-Rs are expressed in various cancers, forming a stimulatory
