Resumen
In a study involving soldiers in an active war zone, we found that serum levels of growth hormone correlated significantly with the amount of time spent in the war zone. Serum cortisol and prolactin showed no such correlation. Our observation suggests that growth hormone may be a useful marker of chronic stress.
