The synergistic relationship between GH-releasing secretagogue (GHS) and GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) with respect to GH secretion is well known, In the present study, we report a similar relationship between GHRH and ghrelin, a recently identified endogenous ligand for the GHS receptor. In normal male adults, various doses of ghrelin were intravenously administered alone or together with 1.0 mug/kg GHRH. At small doses of 0.08 and 0.2 mug/kg ghrelin, combined administration of the two peptides significantly stimulated GH release in a synergistic manner, the mean GH response values of the two peptide combinations were more than the summed mean GH response values of each peptide alone (P
