1 The AUCs for the plasma GHRH and GH responses in the L-dopa test in young and elderly men were 32.0 +/- 2.7 vs 20.3 +/- 1.8 ng.h-1.l-1 (p less than 0.001), and 21.8 +/- 4.6 vs 5.4 +/- 1.1 micrograms.h-1.l-1 (p less than 0.01), respectively, indicating decreased releases of GHRH and GH in the elderly. Levodopa growth hormone releasing hormone Homo sapiens
2 Correlations between the AUCs for plasma GHRH and GH responses in L-dopa were found in both groups, but the ratio of the AUCs for GH/GHRH was lower in the elderly group. Levodopa growth hormone releasing hormone Homo sapiens
