Evaluation of the somatogenic activity of bovine placental lactogen with cell lines transfected with the bovine somatotropin receptor

Life Sciences, 1999
Studies have shown that bovine placental lactogen (bPL) has partial somatogenic activity in vivo even though binding results clearly indicate bPL does not cause homodimerization of the bovine somatotropin receptor (bST-R). To help understand the receptor binding versus biological activity of bovine somatotropin (bST) and bPL we have developed a ...

Somatotropin response in vitro to corticosterone and triiodothyronine during chick embryonic development: Involvement of type I and type II glucocorticoid receptors

Domestic Animal Endocrinology, 2009
Corticosterone (CORT) can stimulate growth hormone (GH) secretion on embryonic day (e) 12 in the chicken. However, CORT failed to induce GH secretion on e20 in a single report, suggesting that regulation of GH production changes during embryonic development. Secretion in response to CORT during embryonic development is modulated by the thyroid hormones

Receptors of Steroid Hormones, Prolactin, and Somatotropin (Growth Hormone) in Human Pituitary Adenomas

1985
It is generally accepted that hormone receptors are protein molecules which are not ubiquitous but are found in or attached to a target cell. In the interaction of a hormone with its receptor on target cell membranes, the initial step is the specific binding of the hormone with the receptor.

Cholinergic and glutamergic receptor functional regulation in long-term, low dose somatotropin and insulin treatment to ageing rats: Rejuvenation of brain function

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2010
The role of somatotropin and insulin treatment in the regulation of neurotransmitter levels in the ageing brain is not fully established. We evaluated the long-term, low dose effects of somatotropin and insulin on acetylcholine and glutamate receptor subtypes functional regulation in the cerebral cortex of young (4-16 weeks) and old rats (60-90 weeks).

Regulatory Effect of Magnesium Ions on Interaction of Prolactin and Somatotropin with Receptors on Granulosum Cells of the Cow Bos taurus

Journal of Evolutionary Biochemistry and Physiology, 2004
A comparative study of effects of Mg2+ ions on specific and competitive binding of the bovine somatotropic hormone (STH) and bovine prolactin (PL) with cells of cow granulosum is carried out. It is found that Mg2+ increases the level of specific binding of 125I-PL with the cells at concentrations from 1 to 70 mM and decreases the level of specific ...

The effects of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) on tissue IGF-I, IGF-I receptor, and GH mRNA levels in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2004
Numerous studies demonstrated that rbST increased growth rates in several fish species, and several species exhibit GH production in tissues other than the pituitary. The role of tissue GH and IGF-I in regulating fish growth is poorly understood. Therefore an experiment was conducted to examine the effects of rbST treatment on tissue GH, IGF-I, and IGF-

Effects of exogenous porcine somatotropin on the carcass composition, hormonal and metabolic profiles, lipogenic capacity, and binding of insulin to erythrocyte receptors of fast- versus slow-growing swine

Journal of Animal Science, 1993
Twenty barrows were designated as fast-growing (FG) and their littermates designated as slow-growing (SG) based on birth, weaning, and 56-d weight. Half of each group received 70 micrograms of porcine somatotropin (pST)/kg BW daily beginning at 40 kg BW.

Effect of porcine somatotropin on number of granulosa cell luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotropin receptors, oocyte viability, and concentrations of steroids and insulin-like growth factors I and II in follicular fluid of lean and obese gilts1

Journal of Animal Science, 1992
Prepubertal gilts of obese (n = 24) or lean (n = 24) genetic lines were injected (s.c.) daily with 0, 2, or 4 mg of porcine somatotropin (pST) for 6 wk starting at 160 d of age to determine whether pST affects follicular function. Blood and ovaries were collected at slaughter 24 h after the last injection. Surface follicles greater than or equal to 1.0

[Structure and gene expression of hormonal receptors somatotropin and prolactin ].

Vestnik Rossiiskoi akademii meditsinskikh nauk, 1995
The paper reviews the data on the structure and expression of genes coding for hormonal receptors of the growth hormone/prolactin family. The genes of these receptors have a complex organization. In human genome, they are located on a short arm of chromosome 5.

Leptin and leptin receptor expression in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in response to in vivo porcine somatotropin treatment.

Journal of animal science, 2006
The present study was performed to examine the response of leptin and leptin receptor (Rb) genes to porcine somatotropin (pST) stimuli in finishing pigs. Twelve crossbred barrows (Yorkshire x Landrace) were used in this study. Animals were individually fed a basal diet containing 18% CP, 1.2% lysine, and 3.5 Mcal of DE/kg ad libitum (as-fed basis).
