Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) secretion is pulsatile in nature in all species. The periodic pattern of GH release plays an important role in transmitting the GH message in a tissue-specific manner. The question of what regulates the pulsatile GH secretion pattern is an issue of not only theoretical interest but of considerable practical importance for designing different GH therapies for a variety of human diseases. This article provides a brief introductory overview of the different regulators of GH secretion and concentrates primarily on human studies.Entities:
