Abstract: | Ten schizophrenic patients and five normal control subjects were challenged with growth hormone-releasing hormone in a pilot study investigating growth hormone secretion from the pituitary. The results suggest suprapituitary dysfunction in schizophrenia, but replication in a larger study is needed. |
