  • Title: Growth hormone response to propranolol and L--dopa in obese subjects.
    Author: Barbarine A, De Marinis L, Troncone L.
    Journal: Metabolism; 1978 Mar; 27(3):275-8. PubMed ID: 628352.
    Abstract:
    Oral administration of propranolol and L-dopa produced a marked increase in plasma growth hormone values in 12 obese subjects who had failed to respond to L-dopa alone. GH values after propranolol and L-dopa in obese subjects were not significantly different from those of normal subjects after L-dopa at 60, 90, and 120 min. Association of propranolol and L-dopa appears to be a simple means of investigating GH response in obese subjects.
