  • Title: Growth hormone and prolactin response to thyrotropin releasing hormone and growth hormone releasing factor in the immature turkey.
    Author: Proudman JA.
    Journal: Proc Soc Exp Biol Med; 1984 Jan; 175(1):79-83. PubMed ID: 6420797.
    Abstract:
    Synthetic thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and human pancreatic growth hormone releasing factor (hpGRF) stimulated growth hormone (GH) secretion in 6- to 9-week-old turkeys in a dose-related manner. TRH and hpGRF (1 and 10 micrograms/kg, respectively) each produced a sixfold increase in circulating GH levels 10 min after iv injection. Neither TRH nor hpGRF caused a substantial change in prolactin (PRL) secretion in unrestrained turkeys sampled through intraatrial cannulas. However, some significant increases in PRL levels, possibly related to stress, were noted.
