Integrated GH concentration

1. Estradiol is associated with integrated GH concentration in humans (r = 0.46).

   “The serum concentration of free estradiol, but not free testosterone, correlated with IGHC (r = 0.46; P less than 0.005), pulse amplitude (r = 0.53; P less than 0.001), and FGHP (r = 0.59; P less than 0.0002).”
