Growth hormone release
In https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1347008 a study has shown that Pyridostigmine "has been shown to elicit GH release when given alone and to potentiate the GH response to GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) in man." Until now, I havent't found other scholar studies, but it's being used off-label to enhance the GH release in humans.

I make this record to gather additional references before adding this use to the clinical uses section. --Cybermandrake (talk) 00:47, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
