Relationships between structure and function of lactogenic hormones.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lactogenic activity of several hormone derivatives obtained by chemical modifications of lysine residues was studied by radioreceptor assay. The relationships between structure and binding to lactogenic receptors are discussed taking into account lysine residue positions liable to be involved in the location of lactogenic function.

Ovine chorionic somatomammotropin and foetal growth.
Ovine chorionic somatomammotropin (oCS) enhances the weight and bone growth of hypophysectomized rats. It acts as a bifunctional hormone, since it binds both to lactogenic and somatotropic receptors. Ovine foetus weight gain is closely related to oCS and oGH serum levels. oCS is able to stimulate somatomedins by foetal liver. Moreover, oCS specific receptors are present in some foetal tissues. ...
متن کاملASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE LACTOGENIC HORMONES AND MILK COMPONENTS IN MITHUN (Bos frontalis)
To find out the association between major plasma lactogenic hormones and milk constituents in mithun, milk samples were collected from 11 mithun cows of 2-6 parity from the day of calving till dry off. Various milk constituents were estimated as per standard method. Serum growth hormone (GH), prolactin, cortisol and thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine, T3 and thyroxine, T4) were estimated by com...
متن کاملAN INDEX REPRESENTING STRUCTURE-CATABOLIC FATE RELATIONSHIPS OF AMINO ACIDS
Based on the Randic suggestion of the resolution of a structure into shape, size, and function an index representing structure-catabolic fate relationships of amino acids is constructed. The index obtained by multiplying three factors; (nb2 + nr), nc and M; representing shape, size and function respectively, where nb2 = number of double bonds, nr = number of rings, nc = number of carbon atoms, ...
متن کاملSTUDIES ON PITUITARY LACTt)GEI’tIC HORMONE
In recent publications experiments were described demonstrating the homogeneity of our lactogenic hormone preparations by means of both electrophoretic (1, 2) and solubility (3) criteria. Of pituitary hormones the lactogenic seems to have been the first isolated in chemically pure form. Its molecular weight, however, has not yet been reported, although for many years it has been thought to be c...
متن کاملAdaptation of pancreatic islet B-cells during the last third of pregnancy: regulation of B-cell function and proliferation by lactogenic hormones in rats.
In rodents, placental lactogen (PL)-I is considered to be the first trigger to enhance pancreatic islet B-cell function, and after its secretion is diminished at mid-pregnancy, PL-II takes over this role. However, little information is available on the regulation of islet B-cell function and proliferation by lactogenic hormones during the last third of pregnancy. This was the focus of the prese...
