    Author: Bizzarro A, Florio A, Varelli G, Cipolletta L, Iacono G.
    Journal: Boll Soc Ital Biol Sper; 1978 Sep 15; 54(17):1576-80. PubMed ID: 219871.
    Abstract:
    We examined 10 volunteers subjects, sound and exempt from endocrine disease. The rapid injection of 0,25 mg of ACTH (Synacten) was followed by a distinct increase of plasma Growth Hormone (GH) within 30 or 60 min in 9 of 10 normal volunteers. The test were then repeated in the 12 "responders" after previous subministration of Metoclopramide and the GH response was totally abolished.
