GHRH depolarizes the membrane of somatotropes, leading to an increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration and GH secretion. Na+ channels mediate the rapid depolarization during the initial phase of the action potential, and this regulates Ca2+ influx and GH secretion. GHRH increases a tetrodotoxin-sensitive somatotrope Na+ current that is mediated by cAMP. TTX-resistant (TTX-R) Na+ channel...
Norman C, Miles J, Bowers CY, Veldhuis JD. Differential pulsatile secretagogue control of GH secretion in healthy men. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 304: R712–R719, 2013. First published March 13, 2013; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00069.2013.—Pulsatile growth hormone (GH) secretion putatively reflects integrated regulation by GH-releasing hormone (GHRH), somatostatin (SST), and GH-releasing pe...
Classical provocative stimuli of GH secretion such as insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, arginine, clonidine, glucagon and levodopa have been widely used in clinical practice for approximately 30 years. On the other hand, in the last 10 years new potent stimuli of GH secretion have been proposed, but an extensive comparison with the classical ones has rarely been performed, at least in adults. In o...
Existing evidence indicates that, in addition to its neuroendocrine action, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) acts directly on several nonpituitary tissues, especially neoplasms, and stimulates cell proliferation. We have recently reported that a splice variant of the receptor (SV1) is expressed in various normal tissues and particularly in tumor tissues, producing mitogenic effects on GH...
The novel synthetic growth hormone-releasing heptapeptide GHRP-1 is reported to be more potent than growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) in eliciting GH release in vivo in rats and man. However, in ovine pituitary cells in primary culture in a perifusion system, GHRP-1 was 10-fold less active than GHRH. The purpose of this work was to study the effect of GHRP-1 in sheep in vivo. Ovine GH rel...
The potential therapeutic effects of agonistic analogs of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and their mechanism of action were investigated in diabetic retinopathy (DR). Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (STZ-rats) were treated with 15 μg/kg GHRH agonist, MR-409, or GHRH antagonist, MIA-602. At the end of treatment, morphological and biochemical analyses assessed the effects of these c...
Induction of growth hormone (GH) mRNA by pulsatile GH-releasing hormone in rats is pattern specific.
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) is a main inducer of growth hormone (GH) pulses in most species studied to date. There is no information regarding the pattern of GHRH secretion as a regulator of GH gene expression. We investigated the roles of the parameters of exogenous GHRH administration (frequency, amplitude, and total amount) upon induction of pituitary GH mRNA, GH content, and som...
Upper airway obstruction (UAO) can lead to abnormal growth hormone (GH) homeostasis and growth retardation but the mechanisms are unclear. We explored the effect of UAO on hypothalamic GH-releasing hormone (GHRH), which has a role in both sleep and GH regulation. The tracheae of 22-day-old rats were narrowed; UAO and sham-operated animals were sacrificed 16 days post-surgery. To stimulate slow-...
We investigated a possible modulation of growth hormone (GH) secretion by testosterone by measuring the growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH)-stimulated and N-methyl-d,l-aspartic acid (NMA)-induced GH secretion in adult rhesus monkeys. Intact, orchidectomized and testosterone-substituted (testosterone enanthate 125 mg/week, i.m. for 5 weeks) orchidectomized monkeys (n=5) were used in the stud...
We examined whether growth hormone releasing hormone GHRH may promote non-REM sleep via activation of GABAergic neurons in the preoptic area. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with EEG, EMG electrodes and a unilateral intracerebroventricular (icv) cannula. Groups of rats received icv injections (3 μl) with GHRH (0.1 nmol/100 g body wt) or equal volume of physiological saline at the onset ...
