ABSTRACT:
Somatostatin, a growth hormone suppressant, is administered to an individual before the growth hormone secretion of that individual is provoked. The somatostatin is applied first in bolus form and the bolus administration is followed by a prolonged adminstration of the somatostatin. Both the bolus and the subsequent adminstration of growth hormone suppressant can be administered intravenously. This procedure insures that the growth hormone secretion of the individual's pituitary gland will be reduced to a minimum, thereby insuring that the results of subsequent provocative tests will be standardized and thus interpreted more consistently.
