...-REM (NREM) periods. Until now the sleep-related course of active renin levels is unknown. Furthermore, there are no data on the effects of age and gender on nocturnal renin and the interaction between these variables, sleep, growth hormone (GH) and cortisol. Methods: We investigated simultaneously...

...Zvi Zemishlany; Robert McQueeney; Steven M. Gabriel; Michael Davidson The effect of a single dose (3 mg) of alprazolam on plasma cortisol, growth hormone (GH), prolactin, norepinephrine (NE) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (MHPG) was studied in 10 healthy males. Alprazolam and placebo...

... and somatostatin are involved in the regulation of growth hormone (GH) secretion. The effects of GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) 1–44 on GH release have been studied before and after the pretreatment with pyridostigmine or pirenzepine in subjects with senile dementia of the Alzheimer type, multi-infarct dementia...

...R. Volpi; P. Caffarra; A. Scaglioni; S. Boni; A. Saginario; P. Chiodera; V. Coiro In order to gain a better insight in the serotonergic disorder affecting the parkinsonian brain, the growth hormone (GH) response to the 5-HT1 serotonergic receptor agonist sumatriptan was tested. Sumatriptan...

... of clonidine on growth hormone (GH) secretion were investigated. (1) DCMB increased spontaneous motion of the rat. (2) DCMB increased extracellular MHPG concentration in the hypothalamus verified by micro-brain dialysis. (3) Clonidine failed to stimulate GH secretion in DCMB-treated rats. These results suggest...

The immune study did not reveal significant differences between patients and controls. ACTH and cortisol basal levels were significantly higher in anorectics, while β-EP, GH and PRL concentrations...
