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...

In this study, to increase information about the relationship between caprine and ovine isolates of Pasteurella multocida, 16S rRNA gene sequencing of 9 goats (5) and sheep (4) isolates were investigated. Also, capsular type and toxAgene presentation was studied in this paper. All isolates, except one, belong to capsular type A, and toxA+ strain distributed among strains were isolated from both...

Genomic DNA from 23 patients with isolated growth hormone (GH) deficiency (12 males and 11 females: heights -4.9 +/- 1.4 SDS) was screened for GH gene deletions by restriction endonuclease analysis of polymerase chain reaction amplification products. Three unrelated patients had typical features of severe GH deficiency and deletions (6.7 kb in two and 7.6 kb in one) of the GH gene. The two pati...

We have previously shown that insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I) inhibits growth hormone (GH) secretion and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels in pituitary cells. The effects of IGF-I on new GH mRNA synthesis rates in primary monolayer rat pituitary cells were therefore examined by nuclear runoff transcription assays. IGF-I (1.3 nM) treatment for 1 h inhibited GH gene transcription to 60% ofcontrols....

Insulin has been shown to inhibit rat growth hormone (GH) gene transcription. The effects of insulin were therefore tested on the expression of a transfected human GH gene. A 2.6-kilobase EcoRI fragment of the human GH gene was propagated in pUC18 and transfected by calcium-phosphate shock into HeLa and GC cells, respectively. Transfected cells grown in serum-free medium for 72 h expressed huma...

Low-back pain (LBP) is a common medical complaint and associated with high societal costs. Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is assumed to be an important causal factor of LBP. IVDs are continuously mechanically loaded and both positive and negative effects have been attributed to different loading conditions.In order to study mechanical loading effects, degeneration-associated proc...

Genetic improvement of livestock productivity can be done through molecular selection on the genes controlling growth traits. polymorphism family (GH, GHRH, and PIT1) were studied in local swamp buffalo (106 hds.) from a government breeding station (46 heads) smallholders (60 North Tapanuli District, Sumatra Province. Genotype variants three identified by PCR-RFLP method using restriction enzym...

Catfish is one of the most important freshwater fish farming commodities in Indonesia. Higher catfish production can be achieved by cultivating transgenic carrying growth hormone (GH) gene African (Clarias gariepinus GH, CgGH). This research focuses on analysis presence CgGH G1, G2, and G3 mutiara broodstock, as an indication stable inheritance. was isolated using RNeasy mini kit RT-PCR. RT-PCR...

The present study was planned with the objective to amplify 5’NCR Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and 3’UTR Prolactin receptor (PRLR) genes using caprine specific primers by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in Surti Mehsana goats. IGF1 gene found be monomorphic on restriction digestion HaeIII, which revealed only one genotype GG both allele frequ...
