Current investigational tools in molecular biology, biochemistry and integrative physiology have revealed an increasing array of signals that influence growth hormone (GH) secretion. The present perspective combines these factors under a simplified final-common pathway model of threefold joint control by GH-releasing hormone, GH-releasing peptide/ghrelin and somatostatin. This concept is highlighted from the viewpoint of sex steroid- and age-dependent modulation of the peptide trilogy listed above. Copyright (C) 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel.
