  • Title: [Somatocrinin induces growth hormone release in a case of growth hormone deficiency of hypothalamic origin in a child].

    Journal: C R Seances Acad Sci III; 1983; 296(11):527-30. PubMed ID: 6409361.
    Abstract:
    Somatocrinin (hp-GRF-44), a growth hormone releasing factor, stimulates acute pituitary response in a 11 years and 4 months old boy, with growth hormone deficiency. The capability of the anterior pituitary to secrete growth hormone in response to an IV injection of somatocrinin (120 micrograms 4 micrograms/kg) was documented, therefore proving the hypothalamic origin of the deficit which had been suspected because of association of diabetes insipidus and hyperprolactinemia.
