the growth hormone gene could be an attractive candidate gene for milk production in goats. single-strand conformation polymorphism was used to identify polymorphism at the goat growth hormone (ggh) gene. for this purpose, genotyping of 90 talli goat breeds was performed. nine conformational patterns were observed in exon 4 of the ggh gene, with frequencies of 27.7% for the homozygous pattern (...

the siberian sturgeon (acipenser baerii) is an economically important species. sturgeon stockassessment during fingerling production is considered to be one of the most difficult phases ofhatchery rearing. the present study investigated the expression of growth hormone (gh)mrna in unfertilized eggs, fertilized eggs, eyed eggs (2 day before hatching), non-viable eggsand newly-hatched siberian st...

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between growth hormone GH/AluI and growth hormone receptor GHR/AluI polymorphisms with milk yield and reproductive performances in Holstein dairy cows in Iran. Blood samples of 150 Holstein cows were collected and their genomic DNA was extracted using Gene-Fanavaran DNA extracting kit. Fragments of the 428 bp of exon 5 growth ho...

background the physiological link between ghrelin and growth hormone (gh) has not yet been fully clarified. furthermore, the existence of a negative feedback mechanism between growth hormone–insulin-like growth factor (gh–igf)-i axis and ghrelin and the influence of amino acids on ghrelin secretion in children remain matters of debate. objectives to understand the regulation of ghrelin secretio...

Growth hormone gene plays a critical role in regulating growth and metabolism which leads to potential correlations between the polymorphisms of this gene and economic trait. A 776 bp fragment within the intron 1 region of the growth hormone gene from 346 individuals of an F2 population of Japanese quail was amplified. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product was digested using MspI restrict...

the aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between growth hormone gh/alui and growth hormone receptor ghr/alui polymorphisms with milk yield and reproductive performances in holstein dairy cows in iran. blood samples of 150 holstein cows were collected and their genomic dna was extracted using gene-fanavaran dna extracting kit. fragments of the 428 bp of exon 5 growth ho...

the growth hormone (gh) gene is a candidate for growth trait in farm animals and plays an important role in growth metabolism. growth hormone can contribute in growth metabolism when it's receptor (ghr) are on cells target. the single nucleotide polymorphism was occurred in gh and ghr genes and that associated with carcass traits in lori-bakhtiari sheep breed with using pcr-sscp. in this r...

Growth hormone (GH) has an effect on a broad variety of physiological parameters such as lactation, reproduction, growth and metabolism. Thus, the aim of this study was to detect GH gene polymorphism and its association with breeding values of production and reproduction traits in Raini Cashmere goat. Breeding values were estimated using records on 26731 Raini Cashmere goats. To study GH gene p...
