## Abstract The arginine growth hormone (GH) stimulation test differentiates the Parkinsonian variant of multiple system atrophy (MSAβP) from idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Our aim was to evaluate the accuracy of the arginine GH stimulation test in distinguishing between PSP, MSAβP, and PD. W
The clonidine-growth hormone test (CGHT) has been proposed as a means of differentiating multiple system atrophy (MSA) from idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it is controversial whether the CGHT is valid. We sought to confirm the validity of the CGHT and to compare the diagnostic accurac
Binding of growth hormone (GH) to its receptor (GHR) is a well-studied example of molecular recognition between a cytokine and its receptor. Extensive mutagenesis studies and several crystal structures have defined the key interactive amino acid residues that are involved in binding and subsequent r
