Abstract 38 patients with proven growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and 19 children with familial short stature received an iv GRF-bolus injection of 1 ug/kg body weight. Whereas in all control children plasma growth hormone rose significantly (mean of maximal values 36 ng/ml), only 7 out of 38 patients with GHD reached peak values of 8 ng/ml or more. GRF-priming by 1 ug GRF/kg BW given once daily s.c. for 5 days in 19 patients improved the response of the pituitary gland in 11. Thus, following the first GRF test, only 21 % of patients demonstrated function of the pituitary gland whereas 45 % did so when all test results are combined. To evaluate the pituitary function in patients with GHD correctly, GRF tests following a GRF priming period seems to be necessary to reactivate atrophic somatotropic cells of the pituitary gland.

SUMMARY Plasma growth hormone (GH) levels during insulin hypoglycaemia were measured in 30 women with implants of 90Y in the pituitary for advanced breast cancer. There was evidence of continued pituitary activity in six patients (20%), the rise in plasma GH level being greater than 4 ng/ml during hypoglycaemia. Thirteen patients (43%) were regarded as having complete ablations because they had no GH response and a fasting level of less than 4 ng/ml. In the remaining 11 patients (37%) there was no rise in the GH level during hypoglycaemia, but there were significant fasting levels. From the post-mortem evidence it was concluded that these patients also had adequate ablations. This test is shown to be of more value in estimating residual pituitary function than routine tests of thyroid or adrenal function.
