GH release is increased by reducing circulating free fatty acids (FFAs). Aging is associated with decreased plasma GH concentrations. We evaluated GH releasing capacity in nine healthy elderly men after administration of GH-releasing peptide 2 (GHRP-2), with or without pretreatment with the antilipolytic drug acipimox, and compared the GHRP-2-induced GH release with the response to GHRH. The area under the curve (AUC) of the GH response after GHRP-2 alone was 4.8 times higher compared with GHRH alone (1834 +/- 255 vs. 382 +/- 78 mug/L 60 min, P |
