  The effects of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) on growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (Prl) secretion have been investigated in vitro and in vivo in domestic fowl. In both conscious and anaesthetized immature chickens the administration (i.v.) of TRH (2.5 and 25 microgram/kg) significantly increased the concentration of plasma GH. The simultaneous administration of somatostatin (GHRIH), 2.5 microgram/kg, to conscious birds significantly reduced the magnitude of the GH response to TRH treatment, but had no effect on the basal levels of plasma GH. The repeated injection of TRH (10 microgram/kg) every 20 min over a 100-min period failed to maintain the concentration of plasma GH at a high level. Prl secretion was not stimulated in any of these experiments, and in anaesthetized birds TRH (2.5 and 25 microgram/kg) treatment was followed by a depression in the level of plasma Prl. The effects of TRH and GHRIH on GH secretion by an in vitro dispersed pituitary cell suspension system were very similar to the in vivo studies. TRH stimulated Prl release in vitro, in contrast to the in vivo studies, and the response was dose related. GHRIH had no effect on the basal release of Prl in vitro but significantly inhibited the response to TRH treatment.
