The stability of growth-hormone releasing factor (growth regulating factor; GRF) analogs in porcine plasma was examined. GRF were incubated at 37 degrees C, extracted and subsequently analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). GRF(1-29)-NH2 rapidly broken down the with a degradation rate t1/2 = 13 min. primary product identified as GRF(3-29)-NH2. Substitution Gly15 by Ala15 slightly prolonged half-life (t1/2 17 min) major degradative fragment found to be...
