BACKGROUND Human growth hormone (hGH) is a single-chain polypeptide that participates in a wide range of biological functions such as metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids as well as in growth, development and immunity. Growth hormone deficiency in human occurs both in children and adults. The routine treatment for this condition is administration of recombinant human growth hormone ...

Growth hormone (GH) may directly affect the expression of some liver cytochromes P-450 inducible by xenobiotics, but this has been difficult to establish with pituitary ablation in living animals. Therefore, we incubated adult rat hepatocytes on a laminin-rich matrix, matrigel, a new system that permits hepatocytes to respond to xenobiotics with induction of the microsomal hemoproteins, the cyt...

This study was conducted to identify polymorphisms in the promoter and coding regions of the bovine growth hormone and growth hormone receptor genes and to study association of polymorphisms identified in these genes with growth traits and serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentration. The denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis method and sequencing were utilized to identify three n...

Recombinant clones containing exon 3 of the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) gene were isolated from a mouse genomic library. These sequences were used to generate an RNA probe, which was used in a solution hybridization assay to quantitate IGF-I mRNA in various murine tissues as a function of growth hormone status. The liver is the major site of IGF-I synthesis and the level of IGF-I mRNA ...

expression of the growth hormone receptor (ghr) gene which is located on the sixteenth chromosome of sheep and its binding with gh is essential for growth and fat metabolism. in this study, blood samples were collected from the jugular vein from 88 sheep of kermani breed.dna was extracted from blood sample using the modified salting out method for amplification of 155 bp fragment containing a p...

in order to estimate responses of growth rate and growth hormone of clarias gariepinus to stocking density, fish (initial weight 30.71 ± 0.89 g) were stocked in 120-l tanks at densities of 35, 65, 95, and 125 kg/m3 for 60 days. on day 30 and 60, the fish growth rates were measured, pituitary growth hormone (gh) mrna levels and serum gh concentrations were examined by real-time qpcr and elisa te...
