title: Regulation of growth hormone secretion.
abstract: The regulation of growth hormone (GH) secretion is complex, depending on the interaction of a wide array of central and peripheral feedback signals. In this brief review we will build up a picture of the current understanding of GH control mechanisms, highlighting areas of particular clinical relevance.
