Abstract
There was a significant rise in the human growth hormone response to intravenous thyrotropin releasing hormone in 5 of 10 chronic schizophrenic adolescents maintained on antipsychotic agents, but in none of 10 age and sex matched control subjects. In 4 of the 5 patients with growth hormone rise there was a positive family history of schizophrenia, but such a family history was obtained in only one of the non-responding schizophrenics.
