  1. Manipulation of Endogenous Growth Hormone in Growing or Lactating Dairy Cattle: Effects on Production

    Vicini, John LewisUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2014

    Growth hormone (GH) is one of the major hormones associated with animal production. Exogenous administration of GH increases milk production and growth of lactating and growing ruminants. Two nutritional components (sodium bicarbonate and arginine) and immunization against somatostatin were …

  10. Verifying the Deletion of Growth Hormone Receptor Using a Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction at the mRNA Level in Tissue-Specific GHR-/- Mice

    Wang, XinyueOhio University2012

    Growth Hormone (GH) inhibits insulin action, and high level GH can result insulin resistance and diabetes in both mice and humans. GH receptor (GHR) gene disrupted mice (GHR-/- mice) have been genetically modified to lack the GHR and GH action. GHR-/- mice are extremely insulin sensitive and have …
