growth hormone inhibiting hormone (somatostatin) inhibits it. growth hormone releasing hormone releases it. both are from the hypothalamus

Thanks. Does glucose inhibit it too? I thought it also did. Assuming that it does, then why can't you use it as a treatment for elevated growth hormone.

GH is considered as a Stress Hormone so hypoglycemia induces its secretion and Hyperglycemia decreases it.

Just read in RR that "Hormones are not supressed by glucose administration" which is what I knew, but just can't figure out why.
