Growth hormone (GH)/GH receptor expression and GH-mediated effects during early bovine embryogenesis.
Pituitary growth hormone (GH) stimulates postnatal growth and metabolism. The role of GH and its receptor (GHR) during prenatal development, however, is still controversial. As shown by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), bovine in vitro fertilization embryos synthesized the transcript of GHR from Day 2 of embryonic life onwards. Real time RT-PCR revealed that synthesis of...
متن کاملAtrazine Binds to the Growth Hormone–Releasing Hormone Receptor and Affects Growth Hormone Gene Expression
BACKGROUND Atrazine (ATR), a commonly used herbicide in the United States, is widely distributed in water and soil because of its mobility through ecosystems and its persistence in the environment. ATR has been associated with defects in sexual development in animals, but studies on mammalian systems have failed to clearly identify a cellular target. OBJECTIVES Our goal in this study was to i...
متن کاملNovel compound heterozygous mutations of growth hormone (GH) receptor gene in a patient with GH insensitivity syndrome.
A girl with severe growth retardation had the clinical features of Laron syndrome. Her serum insulin-like growth factor-I level was completely unresponsive to exogenous GH administration. The serum GH-binding protein (GHBP) level was below the detectable limit in the patient, but it was normal in her parents and brother. Her parents and brother were normal in their height. Amplification with PC...
متن کاملCentral administration of a growth hormone (GH) receptor mRNA antisense increases GH pulsatility and decreases hypothalamic somatostatin expression in rats.
To test the hypothesis of the involvement of centrally expressed rat growth hormone receptors (rGH-R) in the ultradian rhythmicity of pituitary GH secretion, adult male rats were submitted to a 60 hr intracerebroventricular infusion of an antisense (AS) oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) complementary to the sequence of rGH-R mRNA. Eight hour (10 A.M.-6 P.M.) GH secretory profiles, obtained from freely...
متن کاملRegulation of growth hormone (GH) gene expression and secretion during pregnancy and lactation in the rat: role of insulin-like growth factor-I, somatostatin, and GH-releasing hormone.
GH appears to play an important metabolic role during late pregnancy and in lactation maintenance. In this study, pregnant (days 8, 15, and 20 of gestation) and postpartum (days 3 and 8 postpartum, including lactating and nonlactating dams) Wistar rats were used to investigate pituitary GH gene expression and hormone secretion, and the potential alterations of the major signals regulating GH se...
