Abstract

The administration of Somatostatin and growth hormone releasing factor at useful dosage levels alleviates the symptoms of various neuropsychiatric disorders. Growth hormone and neuropsychiatric responses to the administration of growth hormone releasing factor to mammals indicate its usefulness as an antemortem marker for senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
