Arginine enhances the growth hormone-releasing activity of a synthetic hexapeptide (GHRP-6) in elderly but not in young subjects after oral administration
Abstract In man the GH-releasing hexapeptide His-DTrp-Ala-Trp-DPhe-Lys-NH2 (GHRP-6) has been shown to be active even after oral administration. On the other hand, it has been shown that arginine (ARG) totally restores the reduced somatotropic responsiveness to GHRH observed in aging. Based on the fo...

520 | |a Abstract In man the GH-releasing hexapeptide His-DTrp-Ala-Trp-DPhe-Lys-NH2 (GHRP-6) has been shown to be active even after oral administration. On the other hand, it has been shown that arginine (ARG) totally restores the reduced somatotropic responsiveness to GHRH observed in aging. Based on the foregoing, in this study we verified the GH-releasing activity of oral GHRP-6 (300 µg/kg) in normal aging and the possible enhancing effect of 8 g oral ARG on the GH-releasing effect of GHRP-6. Eight young (age 24–32 yr) and 8 elderly (age 66–85 yr) subjects were studied. In all the GH response to GHRH (1 µg/kg iv) was also studied. Both IGF-I levels and the GH response to iv GHRH were lower in elderly than in young subjects (mean±SE, IGF-I: 65.1±9.1 vs 142.9±9.4 µg/L, p<0.0001; GH peak: 5.4±1.0 vs 13.6 ± 0.8 µg/L, p<0.0001). Oral GHRP-6 administration induced a GH rise in elderly which was lower, though not significantly, than that in young subjects (GH peak: 9.9±2.0 vs 16.2±5.4 µg/L). Oral ARG administration enhanced the GHRP-6-induced GH rise in elderly (GH peak: 22.1±3.3 µg/L, p<0.01 vs GHRP-6 alone) while failed to modify it in young subjects (GH peak: 13.5±3.4 µg/L). The GH response to oral ARG+GHRP-6 in elderly was higher than that to all stimuli in young adults (p<0.05). In conclusion, present results show that in humans oral GHRP-6 administration induces a clear GH increase also in aging. The finding that ARG enhanced the activity of GHRP-6 in elderly but not in young subjects suggests that ARG is able to enhance the somatotropic responsiveness to GHRP-6 only when somatostatinergic activity is increased, i.e. in aging. Treatment with oral GHRP-6 alone or combined with low oral ARG may be hypothesized to restore GH secretion in aging. | ||

On the other hand, it has been shown that arginine (ARG) totally restores the reduced somatotropic responsiveness to GHRH observed in aging. Based on the foregoing, in this study we verified the GH-releasing activity of oral GHRP-6 (300 µg/kg) in normal aging and the possible enhancing effect of 8 g oral ARG on the GH-releasing effect of GHRP-6. Eight young (age 24–32 yr) and 8 elderly (age 66–85 yr) subjects were studied. In all the GH response to GHRH (1 µg/kg iv) was also studied. Both IGF-I levels and the GH response to iv GHRH were lower in elderly than in young subjects (mean±SE, IGF-I: 65.1±9.1 vs 142.9±9.4 µg/L, p<0.0001; GH peak: 5.4±1.0 vs 13.6 ± 0.8 µg/L, p<0.0001). Oral GHRP-6 administration induced a GH rise in elderly which was lower, though not significantly, than that in young subjects (GH peak: 9.9±2.0 vs 16.2±5.4 µg/L). Oral ARG administration enhanced the GHRP-6-induced GH rise in elderly (GH peak: 22.1±3.3 µg/L, p<0.01 vs GHRP-6 alone) while failed to modify it in young subjects (GH peak: 13.5±3.4 µg/L). The GH response to oral ARG+GHRP-6 in elderly was higher than that to all stimuli in young adults (p<0.05). In conclusion, present results show that in humans oral GHRP-6 administration induces a clear GH increase also in aging. The finding that ARG enhanced the activity of GHRP-6 in elderly but not in young subjects suggests that ARG is able to enhance the somatotropic responsiveness to GHRP-6 only when somatostatinergic activity is increased, i.e. in aging.
