The effect of changing somatostatin tone on the pituitary growth hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone responses to their respective releasing factor stimuli.
- Abstract:
-
Somatostatin (SS) inhibits GH and TSH secretion, but its role in modulating their pulsatility is unclear. We studied GH and TSH responses to GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) and TRH stimulation upon a variable background infusion of saline, SS-(1-14) at 20 and 100 micrograms/m2.h, and oral pyridostigmine (30 and 60 mg) in six adult males. Basal GH levels were unaffected by SS-(1-14). Deconvolution analysis of serum GH values demonstrated that the pituitary responded to two GHRH stimuli 90 min apar...
