in order to estimate responses of growth rate and growth hormone of clarias gariepinus to stocking density, fish (initial weight 30.71 ± 0.89 g) were stocked in 120-l tanks at densities of 35, 65, 95, and 125 kg/m3 for 60 days. on day 30 and 60, the fish growth rates were measured, pituitary growth hormone (gh) mrna levels and serum gh concentrations were examined by real-time qpcr and elisa te...

Background: Short children face many problems throughout their lives. Consumption of growth hormone and the drugs such as Letrozole, Oxandrolone, and Anastrozole can increase the growth of children and adolescents. There is not an overall estimate of the effects of Letrozole, Oxandrolone, and Anastrozole on the growth of children and adolescents with Idiopathic Short Stature (ISS). There are di...

in this study, the cdna growth hormone (cgh) of the belugasturgeon (husohuso) and russian sturgeon (acipensergueldenstaedtii) were cloned and sequenced, and phylogenetic relationships were examined using nucleic acid and amino acid sequences. the nucleotide sequence of the beluga gh has an open reading frame of 645 nucleotides encoding a protein 214 amino acid residues. the signal peptide cleav...

the mrna expression of growth hormone (gh) gene in early development stages of siberian sturgeon was investigated using rt-pcr method. samples were collected from unfertilized eggs up to 50 days post hatched (dph) larvae in 11 different times. ribosomal protein l6 (rpl6) transcripts were used as the internal standard during quantification of gh mrna expression. the results showed that the gh mr...

recombinant human growth hormone (hgh) was given for 6 months or longer to 68 patients with gh deficiency, 6 with turner's syndrome and 5 with achondroplasia, during 1986-1994 in a prospective study. the total weekly administered dose of gh was 0.6 u/kg. by random sampling, 29 of 68 gh deficient patients (42.6%) received twice weekly (2 iw) intramuscular (im) injections, 17 (25%) received ...
