| 1 | Aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic cut-off limits of peak GH response to the GHRH-ARG test in overweight and obese as well as in lean population. | Arginine | growth hormone releasing hormone | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | DESIGN AND METHODS: The GH responses to the GHRH-ARG test were studied in 322 patients with organic hypothalamic-pituitary disease and in 318 control subjects. | Arginine | growth hormone releasing hormone | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion the GHRH-ARG test is a reliable tool for the diagnosis of adult GH deficiency in lean, overweight and obese patients, provided that specific BMI-related cut-off limits are assumed. | Arginine | growth hormone releasing hormone | Homo sapiens |
