fussnote The aim of this study was to determine the effect of age and sex on basal secretory patterns of growth hormone (GH) and growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) induced GH release. Eighteen pigs (9 castrated males and 9 females) were stimulated with pGRF(1-29)NH"2 at 7,11,15,19 and 23 weeks of age. Blood samples were taken from each animal via jugular vein cannulate every 20 min, from 6 hr before to 5 hr after iv GRF administration at a dose of 4 μg/kg. GH baseline levels, amplitude of the GH peaks, area under the GH peaks and the overall mean of GH serum levels decreased (P〈.001) with age in both sexes. Age also had a marked effect on GRF-induced GH release: the amplitude of GH peaks and area under the GH peaks decreased (P〈.001) with age. The GH response to pGRF(1-29)NH"2 varied considerably, depending on the timing of the episodic endogenous secretion of GH. An immediate response (〈30 min) was observed when GRF was injected at the end of a trough period or at the beginning of a peak, but there was no immediate response when GRF was injected at the end of a peak or at the beginning of a trough period. Our results show that both endogenous GH secretion and pGRF(1-29)NH"2-induced GH release declines with age, suggesting a decreased sensitivity of the somatotroph cells to GRF with age; and that the high variability of the GH response to pGRF(1-29)NH"2 stimulation depends greatly on the timing of the episodic endogenous GH release, thus implying a possible episodic endogenous somatostatin secretion by the hypothalamus.
