Somatocrinin, a 44 amino acid peptide with potent growth hormone (GH) releasing activity in anesthetized rats, was tested in conscious freely-moving rats. When high doses of 1 to 10 μg were administered (iv) at random times between spontaneous GH pulses, the responses were inconsistent. When similar doses were tested under identical conditions but in rats pretreated with antibodies against somatostatin, all animals demonstrated a marked and immediate increase in plasma GH of 5 to 10 fold. Similarly, a 1 μg dose of somatocrinin was also ineffective in increasing plasma GH when administered to rats subjected to a 72 h fast, a paradigm known to enhance endogenous somatostatin secretion. However, plasma GH increased over 20 fold if rats were pretreated with antibodies against somatostatin. These results demonstrate the dynamic and opposite roles exerted by somatocrinin and somatostatin in regulating GH secretion.
