This study was conducted to determine the effect of daily recombinant porcine somatotropin (rpST) injection (0 or 120 pg/kg BW) and dietary CP level of the feed (14 or 26% CP) on pancreatic characteristics of growing pigs. Daily injection of rpST did not affect pancreatic weight ( P = .885) but did decrease pancreatic amylase content ( P = .005). The ratios of amy1ase:protein and amy1ase:trypsi...

The hypothalamic hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and its pituitary receptor are principal regulators of pituitary growth hormone (GH) synthesis and release. In the present study, we cloned and sequenced a complete bovine pituitary GHRH receptor cDNA in order to study its expression in cattle. The lengths of the exons in the bovine GHRH receptor gene were determined by compariso...

background: during the last two decades, significant advances have been made in the fields of lactococcal genetics and protein expression. lactococcus lactis (l. lactis) is an effective vector for protein expression and can be used as an antigen delivery system. hence, l. lactis is an ideal candidate for mucosal immunotherapy. profilin (che a 2), the major allergen in chenopodium album, is one ...
