Human growth hormone (hGH) is a proteohormone secreted by the pituitary gland. It acts through binding to the hGH receptor, inducing either direct effects or initiating the production of insulin-like growth-factor I (IGF-I), the most important mediator of hGH effects. Growth hormone is ...
Purpose. We hypothesize that growth hormone (GH) plays a significant role in the regulation of the meibomian gland. To test our hypothesis, we examined the influence of GH on mouse meibomian gland structure. Methods. We studied four groups of mice, including (1) bovine (b) GH transgenic mic...
Human growth hormone (hGH) secretion in milk of goats after direct transfer of hGH gene into the mammary gland by using replication-defective retrovirus ve... Archer et al., Human Growth Hormone (hGH) Secretion in Milk of Goats After Direct Transfer of the hGH gene into the Mammary Gland ...
Extracts of mouse and rat adenohypophyses have been analyzed for a low-molecular-weight variant of growth hormone (GH) known to occur in humans, the so-called "20K"-GH (mol wt = 20,000 vs 22,000 for traditional human GH). Pituitary proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly...
It secretes pivotal hormones such as growth hormone, TSH, ACTH and prolactin, which regulate functions including growth, thyroid function and blood pressure.

We have proposed that growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) interact to suppress apoptosis in the mammary gland. GH increases insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) synthesis whereas PRL suppresses the production of insulin-like growth f... E Tonner,GJ Allan,DJ Flint - 《Journal of Endocri...
Due to the over-harvesting and deterioration of wild populations, the ever-growing crustacean market is increasingly reliant on aquaculture, driving the need for better management techniques. Since most cultured crustacean species exhibit sexually dimorphic growth patterns, the culture of monosex population...
scent or territorial marking is a common dominance behavior and often increases in contexts in which status is challenged and there is high potential for escalation to physical aggression (Ralls, 1971), although these of course are not the only social functions of scent (Lazaro-Perea, Snowdon, ...
