SUMMARY Growth hormone (GH) has been shown to cause a dose‐dependent increase in the release of immunoreactive somatostatin from the rat hypothalamus in vitro , thus providing further evidence that GH may be involved in a ‘short loop’ feedback, controlling its own secretion via hypothalamic somatostatin release.
