In all patients, the GH response to
insulin induced hypoglycaemia ( ITT, 0.1 IU regular insulin i.v. ) and

Luque et al., J Mol Endocrinol 2006
:
Therefore, this study examined the
effects of glucocorticoids ( dexamethasone ( 0.1-100 nM ) and hydrocortisone ( 10 nM ) ), FFA ( oleic and linoleic acid, 100 and 400 microM each ), IGF-I ( 0.5-50 nM ), and
insulin ( 0.5-50 nM ) on GH release and GH,
GHRH-receptor (GHRH-R) and ghrelin-receptor ( GHS-R ) mRNA levels, in primary pituitary cell cultures of baboons ( Papio anubis ) after 24 h treatment
Scacchi et al., Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 1991

insulin induced hypoglycaemia, L-dopa and
growth hormone releasing hormone ), were investigated
Foot et al., Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 1990
(Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1) :
These results indicate that glucose and
insulin may
play a role in the regulation of
GHRH release following a mixed meal but circulating levels of GHRH and SMS are unlikely to be relevant to the abnormal regulation of GH in IDDM

insulin induced hypoglycaemia and
GHRH ( 1-44 ) with and without pyridostigmine
Rosskamp et al., Klin Wochenschr 1988
(Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1...) :
These results indicate that circulating
growth hormone releasing hormone does not
play a dominant role in the regulation of
insulin and somatostatin
Davis et al., Pancreas 1988
(Adenoma, Islet Cell...) :
Although a growth hormone response to
insulin induced hypoglycemia and supramaximal
GHRH was absent, the patient 's thyroid stimulating hormone response to TRH was normal
Ghigo et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1987
(Dwarfism, Pituitary) :
In this study the effects of PD ( 60 mg, orally ) on both basal and GHRH ( 1 microgram/kg ) -induced GH secretion in seven children with familial short stature ( FSS ), six with GH deficiency ( GHD ) and 10 with constitutional growth delay (CGD) were studied and compared with results obtained by stimulation with
insulin induced hypoglycemia ( IH ) and
GHRH alone
Tapanainen et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1988
:
The
effects of synthetic GHRH- ( 1-44 ) ( 1 microgram/kg, iv ), clonidine ( 0.15 mg/m2, orally ), L-dopa ( 0.5 g, orally ), and
insulin ( 0.1 IU/kg, iv ) on plasma immunoreactive ( ir )

Engström et al., Horm Res 1994
:
Lack of evidence for acute
effects of
growth hormone releasing hormone on serum
insulin and glucose levels in normal and hypophysectomized rats ... We also studied the acute
effects of
GHRH as such on
insulin release in vivo and in vitro ... In isolated rat islets, cultured for 3 days at 11.1 mM glucose, 0.1-10 nM
GHRH stimulated basal
insulin release at 3 mM glucose ... To summarize,
GHRH at high concentrations
stimulates insulin release in vitro, but neither GHRH, at a concentration where GH secretion is greatly stimulated, nor GHRH induced GH release, have any acute effects on serum insulin or glucose levels
Ryan et al., J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry 1994

GHRH stimulated GH secretion and on PRL,
insulin and glucose levels were studied and compared with those of arginine at high ( hArg, 0.5 g/kg ) or low dose ( lArg, 0.2 g/kg ) ... Though a trend toward an increase in basal GH levels was found after His, His and Leu did not significantly modify either basal or
GHRH induced GH secretion nor basal PRL,
insulin and glucose levels
