Abstract
The influence of human growth hormone (hGH) on crypt cell proliferation in cultured explants of human duodenal mucosa has been studied, using a stathmokinetic technique with crypt microdissection. The addition of hGH (0.004 IU/ml) to paired duodenal explants from eight patients significantly increased epithelial crypt cell proliferation (p < 0.001), showing that hGH has a trophic action on the human duodenal mucosa in vitro.
