Growth hormone stimulates serotonin secretion into the hepatic portal circulation
Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
Hepatic portal plasma concentrations of free serotonin were found to be transiently but significantly elevated in normal dogs following a single injection of ovine growth hormone into a peripheral vein. The data are consistent with the concept that spike concentrations of growth hormone are capable of altering the splanchnic concentration of agents that are concerned with glucose homeostasis.
