Effect of adrenaline and adrenergic active drugs on growth hormone secretion in immature cockerels

S Harvey et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

In immature cockerels adrenaline administration lowered the levels of plasma growth hormone. Both alpha and beta adrenergic receptor agonists also depressed the circulating growth hormone levels. In the presence of beta blockade, the suppressive effect of adrenaline on growth hormone secretion was not observed.
