Effects of the administration of growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP-2) orally by gavage and in feed on growth hormone release in swine.

Abstract:

:The experiments were conducted to determine the effects of the administration of growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP-2, also named KP102), both orally by gavage and in feed, on the release of growth hormone (GH) in swine and to investigate whether attenuation of the GH response occurs after short-term treatment with the peptide in feed. In the first experiment, saline or GHRP-2 at doses of 1, 4.5 and 9 mg/kg body weight (BW) was dissolved in 15 ml saline and administered orally as a bolus by gavage to cross-bred castrated male swine (n = 6). Orally administered GHRP-2 stimulated dose-related increases in peak concentrations of GH, with a return to basal by 120 min. After administering GHRP-2 orally, peak concentrations of GH and areas under the GH response curves (GH AUCs) for 180 min were higher (P < 0.05) than those in saline controls. In Experiment 2, GHRP-2 at doses of 0 (served as control), 1, 4.5 and 9 mg/kg BW was mixed in 150 g of feed and offered to cross-bred castrated male swine (n = 6) at 0900 hr and 1700 hr daily for a 3-d period. Administration of 1 mg/kg BW GHRP-2 to swine in feed failed to stimulate the release of GH, but GHRP-2 at doses of 4.5 and 9 mg/kg BW significantly (P < 0.05) increased plasma concentrations of GH after initial and final treatments at 0900 hr on Days 1 and 3 of treatment, respectively. Peak concentrations of GH and GH AUCs for 180 min after the initial and final treatments in the 4.5 and 9 mg/kg BW GHRP-2-treated swine were higher (P < 0.05) than those in controls. After 3 d of treatment with GHRP-2 in feed at doses of 4.5 and 9 mg/kg BW, GH responses to the peptide were maintained. The results of the present study indicate that the administration of GHRP-2 orally by gavage and in feed stimulates the release of GH in swine, and that the GH-releasing effect of the peptide does not become desensitized after short-term administration in feed.
