Definitions

  • a diagnostic protocol and kit for evaluating pituitary growth hormone (GH) secretory capability as a means to identify the etiology of GH deficiency in children and adults includes measuring GH secretion, as determined by changes in serum, plasma, or whole blood GH concentrations following administration of the xenobiotic GH releasing hexapeptide (GHRP-6) or any of its peptidyl or non-peptidyl synthetic analogues that release GH by the same cellular mechanism as GHRP-6 (the group/family of compounds are referred to as GHRX) .

  • GHRH has been identified as a naturally occurring GH secretagogue, an endogenous analogue of a group referred to as GH releasing compound (GHRC) .
  • GHRP-6 represents a synthetic analogue of another, yet unidentified, endogenous GH secretagogue.

  • GHRP-6 and analogues thereof means GHRP-6 and any peptide or nonpeptide compound that releases GH by the same cellular mechanism.

  • analogue in the present invention is used to refer to functional and metabolic analogues that are peptides or nonpeptides that cause the release of GH by the same cellular mechanism as GHRP-6, i.e., they are compounds of similar activity.
  • a nonpeptide functional or metabolic analogue of GHRP-6 has been disclosed by Smith et al . (1993) that acts through the same site as GHRP-6.
  • the compound, L-692,429 is antagonized by the same agents as is GHRP-6 and interacted with GRF.
  • This and related compounds activate the same cellular receptors and second messengers as GHRP- 6 in the course of initiating its relevant action (e.g. growth hormone release) . All of these analogues and compounds of similar activity are useful in practicing the present invention as described herein; however, these peptides and nonpeptides should not be considered as being exhaustive of the GHRP-6 analogue-compounds useful in practicing the present invention.
  • GHRH-efficacy has been reported to be reduced 50 to 75% in old rats (Sonntag et al . , 1983) ; therefore, applicants tested the effect of GHRP-6 alone and in combination with GHRH on GH release in old rats. Peak plasma GH concentrations resulting from GHRP-6 administration in old rats were approximately 60% less than in young rats. In contrast, peak plasma GH concentrations were greater in old rats than in young rats administered GHRP-6 and GHRH. Since target organs sometimes become hyperresponsive when tonic and/or phasic stimulation decreases, than one would expect exaggerated responses to provocative exogenous stimuli under experimental conditions.
  • GHRP-6 activity was significantly attenuated in young female rats administered GHRH antiserum or ⁇ -methyl-p-tyrosine to reduce endogenous GHRH concentrations.
  • GHRH antiserum or ⁇ -methyl-p-tyrosine was significantly attenuated in young female rats administered GHRH antiserum or ⁇ -methyl-p-tyrosine to reduce endogenous GHRH concentrations.
  • naturally occurring decrements in endogenous GHRH during aging contributed to the blunted response to GHRP-6 that applicants observed (Walker et al . , 1991) .
  • GHRH activity is also dependent upon a yet unidentified endogenous co-secretagogue whose concentrations decline during aging, then applicants' data support the hypothesis that extrinsic pituitary deficits contribute, at least in part, to attenuated GH secretory responses to administered GHRH.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un protocole de diagnostic et un matériel d'évaluation des capacités sécrétoires de l'hormone de croissance hypophysaire (GH) en tant que moyen d'identification de l'étiologie des carences en GH chez l'enfant et chez l'adulte. Ledit protocole consiste à mesurer la sécrétion de GH par mesure des variations de la concentration en GH du sérum, du plasma ou du sang entier suite à l'administration de GHPRP-6 (hexapeptide de libération de GH) xénobiotique, ou de l'un de ses analogues de synthèse, du genre peptidyle ou non peptidyle, libérant la GH par le même mécanisme cellulaire que le GHPRP-6. Le composé de libération (GHRC) du GH naturel ou ses analogues sont également administrés à des enfants ou des adultes atteints de troubles liés à une carence en GH, puis la sécrétion de GH est mesurée. Après avoir évalué les effets d'une administration indépendante de secrétagogues du GH sur les variations de la concentration sanguine de GH, on peut mesurer les effets d'une administration conjointe de différents secrétagogues de GH sur la concentration sanguine de GH chez l'enfant et chez l'adulte.
