Effect of Short Term Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone in Healthy Men

View on ClinicalTrials.gov Updated Dec 15, 2025

Brief Summary

The purpose of this trial is to examine the short-term effects of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH, tesamorelin) administration in healthy men. We hypothesize that GHRH will increase GH pulse height and will not affect insulin sensitivity.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effects of growth hormone releasing hormone (Tesamorelin) on endogenous overnight growth hormone secretion and pulsatility, as well as insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Healthy male subjects will receive 2mg Tesamorelin, subcutaneously, daily for two weeks. At baseline and after two weeks of treatment, we will assess overnight growth hormone by frequent sampling as well as insulin stimulated glucose uptake by clamp. Subjects will then stop the Tesamorelin and will return for an identical assessment after a 2 week withdrawal period.

Interventions

Name: Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (Tesamorelin)
Type: DRUG
Description: Tesamorelin 2mg subcutaneous daily x 2 weeks

Primary Outcomes

Measure: Mean Overnight Growth Hormone
TimeFrame: at 2 weeks (i.e., after 2 weeks of treatment)
Description: Outcome is mean overnight growth hormone at 2 weeks (i.e., following 2 weeks of treatment with growth hormone releasing hormone). Growth hormone was measured overnight (from 8pm-7:40am) by frequent blood sampling, and the mean is the average of these frequent measurements. The mean measurement at 2 weeks is given here, and, in the statistics section, is statistically compared with the mean measurement before treatment.
