Why we cite it
A quantitative study using multiple-parameter deconvolution analysis to resolve endogenous GH secretory and clearance rates during a 2-day fast in nine normal men; the source of the *"5-fold increase"* in 24-h GH production. (Corrected 2026-09-19. This read *"A key quantitative study (approximately 286 Semantic Scholar citations)"*, an undated count, and *"Provides the most-cited '5-fold increase' figure used across the fasting literature"*, a ranking over a literature this library has not surveyed.)
