[Somatotropin response following stimulation with human gonadotropin releasing factor 1-44 in young adults and in the elderly].

Abstract

The answer of STH (somatotropic hormone) after stimulation with hGRF (Gonadotropin-releasing-factor) 1-44 in young and old subjects from both sexes is examined. The results show that the young have a raising in concentration of STH significantly. The maximal values are evaluated at 15-60 min after the application of GRF. The old subjects have greater individual differences. The raising of the serum level of STH after hGRF 1-44 although evaluated in the same interval is not significant.
