Estimation of age and growth of organisms is essential in understanding the variations in growth rate and life span and also provides information on other related biological parameters such as reproductive characteristics. In fishes, data on age and growth can be applied for effective fisheries management and conservation.

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2013
Growth hormone (GH) and/or ghrelin mimetics represent potential treatment and/or prevention options for musculoskeletal impairment associated with aging. Use of improvement in muscle function as an outcome in studies of GH and ghrelin mimetics is complicated by the lack of a standardized definition for clinically meaningful efficacy of this end point ...

Growth Hormone and Premature Ageing
Nature, 1973IT has often been suggested that the immune system may be involved in ageing1–4 Fabris et al.5 claim that such immune deficiencies are caused by inadequate stimulation of the lymphoid system by growth hormone (GH). They compared mice with inherited pituitary dwarfism (homozygotes for Snell's dwarf mutation, dw) with normal mice from the same stock. The

Growth and Aging Problems in Agriculture
Science, 1946It appears that while the immediate objectives of the agriculturist differ from those of the academic biologist, the long-range needs for standards of growth and aging, for physiologically equivalent units of time and mass, and for knowledge of the influence and mechanisms of various internal and external factors on growth and related processes are the

Abstract Ageing is characterized by undesirable changes in body composition and a decline in many physiological functions, leading to reduced physical fitness and increased susceptibility to illness. With the projected growth of the elderly population worldwide, the ageing process is likely to give rise to increasing demands on health ...

The meaning of the word ‘growth’ as used by biologists contains some elements that are not immediately obvious from its common use. Growth usually implies an increase in physical dimensions such as length or mass. This can be measured throughout both prenatal and postnatal development and provides a first approach to the detailed biological analysis of
