First sentence: The term "growth hormone secretagogue" (GHS) refers to a family of synthetic peptides and non-peptides that stimulate growth hormone (GH) secretion (Bowers et al. 1984) by interacting with the cloned GHS receptor, which is present at pituitary and hypothalamic sites (Howard et al. 1996).
