Explanation / Answer

Because growth hormone is released in pulses, a single measurement of the blood level is not normally clinically useful. Therefore, testing for the suppression or stimulation ofgrowth hormone release from the pituitary is usually done. GH stimulation tests help to diagnose GH deficiency and hypopituitarism.

hence the answer would be IS STIMULATED BY GHRH.
