Intravenous administration of recombinant IGF-I lowers serum GHRH and TSH

Abstract: Abstract. Recombinant IGF-I was administered as an iv bolus of 75 μg/kg to 10 patients with Laron type dwarfism (3 children aged 9, 11 and 12 years and 7 adults aged 30.6 ± 3.5 years) and to 8 healthy subjects (mean age 19.9 ± 12.1 years) and determinations of IGF-I, GHRH, hGH, TSH, and glucose were made before and at 2, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. The following effects were observed: a. an immediate, marked and sustained drop in blood glucose (p < 0.001), more prolonged in the patients; b. in both grou… Show more

“…In humans, the inhibitory effect of rhIGF-I on somatotroph hypersecretion has been shown in Laron's syndrome, IDDM, malnutrition, and fasting (7,8,10,24,25). In healthy women, a low rhIGF-I dose inhibited the GHRH-and, more markedly, the GHRP-induced (but not the spontaneous) GH secretion (13).…”

“…GH hypersecretion in AN would rest on the reduction of the negative IGF-I feedback mechanism (19,(21)(22)(23), as also implied by evidence that recombinant human (rh)IGF-I, administered to subjects with GH hypersecretion, inhibits the secretion of GH (7,8,10,24,25).…”

“…Among the biological effects induced by IGF-I was suppression of circulating (serum) hGH and TSH [10,11]. It was therefore of interest to study the influence of acute and prolonged IGF-I administration on prolactin (PRL) secretion.…”
