TLDR
The relationship of naturally occurring sleep-related human growth hormone (HGH) secretion to a subject’s age, body build and pattern of sleep was investigated to determine if these quantities signified a change in sleep patterns.Citations

Impaired growth hormone secretion in the adult population: relation to age and adiposity.
TL;DR: Within each decade, plasma SmC was inversely related to adiposity, and increased progressively from age 20 to 90: third decade, 0%; fourth, 11%; fifth, 20%; sixth, 22%; seventh, 42%; eight, 55%; and ninth, 55%.

Methscopolamine Inhibition of Sleep-Related Growth Hormone Secretion: EVIDENCE FOR A CHOLINERGIC SECRETORY MECHANISM
Wallace B. Mendelson,Natarajan Sitaram,Richard Jed Wyatt,J. Christian Gillin,Laurence S. Jacobs +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the burst of GH secretion which normally occurs after sleep onset is primed by a cholinergic mechanism which does not influence slow-wave sleep, and the neurotransmitter mechanisms, and presumably the pathways, which subserve sleep-related GH secretion in man may be different from those which mediate the GH response to pharmacologic stimuli such as insulin.

Effect of intranasal lhrh therapy on plasma lh, fsh and testosterone, and relation to clinical results in prepubertal boys with cryptorchidism
TL;DR: It is suggested that FSH induces changes that potentiate the local action of testosterone in boys with a large pool of easily releasable FSH and without a significant rise in testosterone (in contrast to HCG treatment).
