ABSTRACT A comprehensive study was undertaken to clarify the nature of a sex-based variation of human growth hormone (HGH) secretion in man. This included a detailed investigation of HGH secretion after several stimuli in both sexes and in females during the menstrual cycle. Pretreatment with appropriate sex hormones was carried out. Graded doses of arginine were infused in each period of the menstrual cycle. During a high estrogen phase of the cycle (preovulatory phase) the mean peak human growth hormone response to 1/6 g and to 1/12 g of arginine per pound of body weight was significantly greater than during menstruation—a low estrogen phase. A similar variation did not occur with a greater dose (1/4 g per pound of body weight) of arginine. Graded decreases of plasma glucose induced by insulin revealed a similar pattern. With plasma glucose concentration decreasing between 20 and 30 mg/100 ml, HGH increased in the preovulatory phase to 17.5 ± 5.0 mμg/ml, in the postovulatory phase to 14.0 ± 4.2 mμg/ml, ...
