摘要:
A method and pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting the effect of glucocorticoids, particularly dexamethasone, which suppress growth hormone secretion, by administering ghrelin or a ghrelin analogue, for example, H-Inp-D-Bal-D-Trp-Phe-Apc-NH2 (SEQ ID NO:73) or other suitable ghrelin agonist, to counteract the catabolic effects of dexamethasone and other natural glucocorticoids.
