“…Our results suggest that GHRH preferentially stimulates the secretion of a particular form of hGH, bet ter recognized by the antibodies in the cismono kit. While these data are different from some reported for adults [18], they are consistent with the results published by oth er authors who concluded after comparing hGH values measured by means of RIA and RRA that there may exist stimulus-specific forms of hGH [13,19,20], particularly after GHRH stimulation [13].…”

“…LaFranchi et al [45] reported on 48 children with short stature and they failed to find any discrepancy between the GH levels measured by RIA and those determined by RRA. Similarly, Tokuhiro et al [46] stud ied 25 short children and did not find any abnormal RRA/RIA ratio.…”

“…A decrease in RRA/RIA ratio was also reported by LaFranchi ct al. [45] following both L-Dopa and arginine administration. This may reflect heterogeneity in the circulating forms of GH after stimulation with pharmacological agents other than GRF.…”

“…First, the specific binding sites for hGH on tumor cell (IM-9 lymphoblast) or liver microsomal fraction from other species (rabbit or rat) may not recognize the somatotropic site of the hGH molecules. Second, malnutrition or chronic diseases may result in a decreased RRA/RIA ratio of hGH (10). Third, RRA/RIA ratio of hGH is not always low in patients with bioinactive hGH [ 9 ] , which is probably due to the heterogeneity of bioinactive hGH.…”
