I'm not sure what you mean by a gamma curve. If you mean a scalar multiple of a curve with the same form as a gamma probability density function, here's an example using nlinfit from the Statistics Toolbox:
function main
y = [150 149 151 157 163 169 174 176 177 177 177 181 ...
185 186 185 184 181 176 173 171 169 167 168 168];
x = 1:24;
p = nlinfit(x,y,@f,[1 10 150])
plot(x,y,'bo',x,f(p,x),'r-')
end
function y = f(abc,x)
a = abc(1); b = abc(2); c = abc(3);
y = c * x.^(a-1) .* exp(-x/b) / (b^a * gamma(a));
end
