Abstract

CoNC.entrations of human growth hormone in the plasma during a 6-hr GTT of patients with several types of galactorrhea were shown to be no different from those of control subjects. Three patients with Thorazine-induced galactorrhea did have a comparatively attenuated response of growth hormone. The findings imply that abnormal secretion of growth hormone is not implicated in galactorrhea, and also support the viewpoint that prolactin and growth hormone are separate entities.
