[Effect of metoclopramide on growth hormone (GH) release induced with ACTH]

|September 15, 1978
Abstract:
We examined 10 volunteers subjects, sound and exempt from endocrine disease. The rapid injection of 0,25 mg of ACTH (Synacten) was followed by a distinct increase of plasma Growth Hormone (GH) within 30 or 60 min in 9 of 10 normal volunteers. The test were then repeated in the 12 "responders" after previous subministration of Metoclopramide and the GH response was totally abolished.
