چکیده

In a previous publication, it was reported that solution of the hypophyseal growth hormone in acetate buffers results in an increment of its intrinsic viscosity with an accompanying increase of molecular weight (1). Later, Smith et al. (2) confirmed these observations in ultracentrifugal studies. The purpose of this present investigation has been to study the sedimentation behavior of the hormone in buffers of various pH values.

Ultracentrifugation of hypophyseal growth hormone.

Sedimentation velocity was measured in a Spinco ultracentrifuge’ operating at 165,000 X g. The hormone solutions (0.5 per cent) were prepared with borate buffer of pH 9.7 or saline at pH 9.1. Table I presents a typical run in a borate buffer; the sedimentation velocity constant was calculated by the procedure described by Svedberg and Pedersen (3). It may be noted that the individual values of ...

Studies on Hypophyseal Isografts in Mice1 II. Properties of Polyribosomes

Polyribosomes, characterized by sedimentation behavior and electron microscopy, have been prepared from hypophyseal isografts in kidney. These preparations have incorporation ability for amino acids in vitro and can be stimulated for phenylalanine incorporation by polyuridylic acid, similar to the rat liver system. The 100,000 X g supernatant fraction contains a factor which protects the integr...

Hypophyseal influence on function and composition of cardiac muscle.

• Relationships between cardiac and hypophyseal functions have been recognized since early clinical observations of cardiac enlargement and failure in acromegaly. Experimental attention has been directed at hypophyseal influences on cardiac size," cardiac output,' and the ability of the heart to hypertrophy." The relationship of cardiac changes to peripheral circulatory events following hypophy...

Growth after Hypophyseal Stalk Transection and Hypophysectomy in Beef Calves

Growth hormone (GH) is a metabolic hormone that plays an important role in long-bone growth and muscle accretion in mammals. The anterior pituitary gland at the base of the brain is the primary site of GH production and release into the general circulation. Neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus in the lower part of the brain secrete GH-releasing hormone ([GHRH] or factor [GRF]) and...
