Growth and the Somatotropic Axis in Young Thoroughbreds
… focused on relationships between diet, somatotropic axis, and growth. Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) are factors in the somatotropic axis, and important to development of growth cartilage in the young animal. The entire study was divided into four main …

Examination of the expression of genes and proteins controlling M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum growth in steers
… of the transcriptional regulation of the somatotropic axis followed by a proteomic approach to assess differentially abundant proteins. Following this, a second study was set up to examine the compensatory growth phenomena in cattle which aimed to investigate the effect of feed restriction …

A functional analysis of growth hormone receptor promoter regions in swine
… primary regulator of hepatic GHR expression and somatotropic axis coupling in pigs. The results highlight species-specific differences in GHR regulation and underscore the functional importance of promoter 2 in supporting postnatal growth and metabolic function. This study also demonstrates the …

The role of PYY in regulating energy balance and glucose homeostasis
… support PYY as an important regulator of the somatotropic axis. These preliminary findings prompted investigations in understanding whether low PYY levels may be a predisposing factor for the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes in human subjects. In a population of healthy human …

The Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF1) System as a Potential Biomarker for Nutritional Status and Growth Rate in Pacific Rockfish (SEBASTES SPP.)
… growth hormone (GH) / insulin-like growth factor somatotropic axis. In several teleost fishes, circulating concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-1 (Igf1) correlate positively with growth rate, and it has been proposed that plasma Igf1 levels may serve as an indicator of growth variation for …

Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Proteins in the Plasma of Growing Horses
… age and season when interpreting changes of the somatotropic axis. Further, the increase in certain IGFBP's and simultaneous decrease in others stress the need for further research on the tissue specific modulating effects that IGFBP's have on IGF-I.
