“…In contrast, at the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, stimulation of GH release with GHreleasing peptide in the presence of estrogens enhances GH secretory response in postmenopausal women (2). Significant positive correlations between serum T levels and spontaneous GH secretion (74) and GHRH-stimulated GH release have been reported in some (16), but not other (12), studies of older andropausal men. In a cross-sectional survey of healthy aging men, we recently reported (7) that age was a strong, independent predictor of serum IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels and that levels of total T were related to IGF-I independently of age.…”

“…Some investigators have reported that there is no correlation between serum testosterone levels and GH secretion (Lang et al, 1987;Ceda et al, 1989). However, androgens appear to stimulate GH secretion in hypogonadotrophic men (Liu et al, 1987).…”
