A synthetic replicate of human pancreas growth hormone-releasing factor, hpGRF1-44-NH2, (hpGRF44), a 44-amino acid amidated peptide, was administered to seven normal men. In addition to placebo, 4 subjects received 3 doses of hpGRF44 (0.5 microgram/kg, 5 micrograms/kg, 10 micrograms/kg), while one subject received 2 doses (5 micrograms/kg, 10 micrograms/kg) and 2 subjects received one dose (0.5 microgram/kg or 5 micrograms/kg), each as a rapid intravenous injection. A significant increase in circulating growth hormone (GH) was observed at each dose (0.5 microgram/kg, p = 0.05; 5 micrograms/kg, p less than 0.005; 10 micrograms/kg, p = 0.01) when compared to placebo, with equivalent maximal responses. At all doses studied a rise in plasma GH occurred within 5 min, with a peak response in most patients at 30-45 min. There were no associated changes in any of the other anterior pituitary hormones or insulin. Other than transient flushing and minimal changes in vital signs, no side effects were noted. The results of these studies support the potential usefulness of hpGRF44 for the assessment of GH secretion and reserve, and of this peptide or an analog as a therapeutic agent to stimulate GH release.
