From: Role of pulsatile growth hormone (GH) secretion in the regulation of lipolysis in fasting humans
Composite data of discrete parameters of GH pulsatility and Glycerol Ra (rate of lipolysis) for all stages of the protocol. *p < 0.05 vs. Control (59 h fast without co-administration of GHRHa). †p < 0.05 vs. 12 h Fast. Lipolytic rate was higher after 59 h fast/Control vs 12 h fast (P = 0.001). GHRHa infusions at low and medium doses during 59 h fast were associated with numerically but not statistically lower lipolytic rate compared with 59 h fast with no GHRHa (Control). High-dose GHRHa infusion during 59 h fast significantly lowered lipolytic rate compared with 59 h fast/Control
