Abstract
The presentations on neuroendocrine regulation of growth hormone (GH) secretion raised several new issues of great interest to basic scientists and clinicians. These were: (1) reciprocal rhythms of growth hormone releasing factor (GHRH) and somatostatin (SRIH) secretion; (2) strategies for chronic, therapeutic modulation of GH release; (3) the potential role of galanin; and, (4) new capabilities for the measurement of extremely low concentrations of GH in serum and urine.
