in order to study the periplasmic expression of human growth hormone (hgh) in escherichia coli, the related cdna was inserted in two expression plasmids carrying pelb signal peptide, one with lac bacterial promoter and the other with a bacteriophage t7-based promoter. the recombinant plasmids were moved to tg1 and bl21 strains of e. coli, respectively. to induce the expression systems, iptg and...

Background: Bovine follicle-stimulating hormone (bFSH) is a heterodimer hormone that consists of a common -subunit which noncovalently associated with the hormone-specific -subunit. During the past 15 years, the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris has become an important host organism for recombinant protein production because it is able to use methanol as a sole carbon and energy source. Th...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of an electrocautery strategy with ovulation induction using recombinant follicle stimulating hormone in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. SETTING Secondary and tertiary hospitals in the Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS 168 patients with clomiphene citrate resistant polycystic ovary syndrome: 83 were allocated elec...

1. In adult humans with growth hormone deficiency, treatment with growth hormone has recently been shown to have major anabolic effects and to improve exercise performance. The cardiovascular effects of growth hormone in adults with growth hormone deficiency were examined in 24 patients treated with recombinant human growth hormone (0.07 units/kg at night) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled ...

Background Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein composed of alpha and beta subunits.This hormone is secreted from the pituitary gland. LH, in women triggers Menstrual cycle and ovulation. In men, LH stimulates production of testosterone, which plays a specialized role in sperm production. Up to day, LH hormone have produced in different ways such as codon optimization and al...

OBJECTIVES In laryngeal cancer, which comprises 25% of head and neck cancer, chemotherapy has come into prominence with the increase in organ-protective treatments. With such treatment, salvage surgery has increased following recurrence; the incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula has also increased in both respiratory and digestive system surgery. We investigated the effects of recombinant huma...
