Abstract. We studied the metabolic clearance rate (MCR) serum half-time (t½) and apparent distribution space (DS) of unlabelled, authentic, biosynthetic human growth hormone (B-hGH) in 9 GH-deficient patients by means of the constant iv infusion to equilibrium technique. B-hGH was infused for 3 h at a rate of 33 ng · kg−1 · min−1 after which the disappearance from serum of GH was followed for 1 h. The mean ± sem values for MCR, t½ and DS were: 2.3 ± 0.6 ml · kg−1 · min−1, 21.1 ± 1.7 min and 67.6 ± 14.6 ml/kg, respectively. The disappearance of GH was monoexponential for the first 30 min, during which 75% of the GH had been cleared. The disappearance rate during the last 30 min of the observation period was somewhat lower, still approximately 90% of the GH had been eliminated after 60 min.
