Abnormal growth hormone response to LRH and TRH in adolescent schizophrenic boys. 1981

I Gil-Ad, and Z Dickerman, and R Weizman, and A Weizman, and S Tyano, and Z Laron

The authors studied the effect of LRH and TRH on HGH in 10 adolescent schizophrenic boys and 9 age-matched normal boys. Before antipsychotic treatment, LRH and TRH induced a marked rise in hGH in 8 of 10 patients and 4 of 6 patients, respectively. No effect on HGH was observed in the normal controls. After 3 months of treatment with chlorpromazine, thioridazine, or haloperidol, LRH failed to induce a rise in HGH in 5 of the 6 patients tested, but TRH induced a significant rise in HGH in 3 of 4 patients tested. The authors postulate that these results indicate a dysfunction in the mechanism regulating HGH secretion in schizophrenia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

D002746 Chlorpromazine The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.

D006220 Haloperidol A phenyl-piperidinyl-butyrophenone that is used primarily to treat SCHIZOPHRENIA and other PSYCHOSES. It is also used in schizoaffective disorder, DELUSIONAL DISORDERS, ballism, and TOURETTE SYNDROME (a drug of choice) and occasionally as adjunctive therapy in INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY and the chorea of HUNTINGTON DISEASE. It is a potent antiemetic and is used in the treatment of intractable HICCUPS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p279) Haldol

D013006 Growth Hormone A polypeptide that is secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR).
