The synthetic replicate of a 44 amino acid peptide isolated from a human pancreatic tumor which had caused acromegaly possesses high specific activity to release growth hormone (GH) in anesthetized male rats. The GH secretion induced by this peptide is dose-dependent from 50 ng to 1 μg, with plasma GH concentrations increasing more than 10-fold within 5 min of iv administration at the higher doses. Two enzymatic degradation products of the 44 residue peptide were also isolated and consist of the first 37 and 40 amino acids. All three peptides appear to possess similar potency, on a molar basis, in vivo, contrary to in vitro results. The specificity of these peptides on GH release was shown by their failure to alter plasma concentrations of prolactin (PRL), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and corticosterone. Based on these in vivo results, the three peptides with serve as powerful tools with which to investigate the mechanisms of GH secretion.
