abstract：:Oestrogens are known to enhance both basal and stimulated GH secretion. To examine whether this effect is mediated through the hypothalamus or the pituitary we performed insulin tolerance and GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) tests with and without oestrogen priming in a group of 14 short children. Pretreatment with stilboe...
