Growth response to growth hormone-releasing hormone(1-29)-NH2 compared with growth hormone

To assess the growth-promoting effect of different doses of growth hormone-releasing hormone(1-29)-NH2 (GHRH(1-29)-NH2) in GH deficiency (GHD) of hypothalamic origin, 43 prepubertal children aged between 4.3 and 18.9 years (mean 10.4 +/- 2.9 years) were randomly assigned to three treatment regimens: low-dose GHRH(1-29)-NH2 (LD group; n = 15), high-dose GHRH(1-29)-NH2 (HD group; n = 12) and GH (GH group; n = 16). The LD group received GHRH(1-29)-NH2 at 30 micrograms/kg/day s.c…
