Abstract

A review is presented on progress in the research of stimulatory inputs that regulate growth hormone secretion, including recent results on the action of the hypothalamic peptides growth-hormone releasing factor (GHRH) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), as well as that of both peptidic (growth hormone-releasing hexapeptide; GHRP-6) and non-peptidyl (L-163,255) synthetic GHSs on somatotrope cell function.
