Greater secretion of growth hormone in black than in white men: possible factor in greater bone mineral density--a clinical research center study - PubMed

To determine why blacks have a higher bone mineral density (BMD) and lower incidence of osteoporosis and fractures than whites, we investigated whether the secretion of GH is higher in black than in white men. Measurements of GH were obtained at 20-min intervals over 24 h and analyzed by deconvoluti …
