1. Basal circulating growth hormone (GH) concentrations in sex-linked-dwarf (SLD) chickens were unaffected by the intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of 10, 50 or 100 micrograms somatostatin (SRIF). 2. The GH response to systemic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH; 10 micrograms/kg, iv) was, however, 'paradoxically' enhanced 20 min after icv SRIF administration. 3. A lower dose (1.0 micrograms) of SRIF had no effect on basal or TRH-induced GH release. 4. High-titre SRIF antisera (4 microliters) also had no acute effect on basal plasma GH concentrations, but augmented the GH response to TRH challenge. 5. SRIF would appear to act at central sites to modulate stimulated GH secretion in SLD chickens.
