Summary

Clinical-research themes address how sex steroids and peptide releasing-factors regulate hormone secretion by the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and target tissues. Specific projects include CRU-based and NIH-supported investigations in four complementary areas:

  1. mechanisms by which estrogen stimulates growth hormone (GH), and IGF-I secretion in postmenopausal women;
  2. how testosterone stimulates GH and IGF-I secretion in men;
  3. sex-steroid control of ACTH and cortisol secretion in men and women; and
  4. deterioration of GnRH-LH-testosterone secretion in older men.

Studies involve normal volunteers and selected patient subgroups.
