  • Factors affecting circulating growth hormone binding protein in chickens

    Creator:
    Tobar-Dupres, Eric T.
    Abstract:
    Growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) may be an important factor in the regulation of growth as well as an indirect, less invasive way of predicting the status of growth hormone receptors. Several factors (age, nutritional status, sex, and glucocorticoid administration) have been reported to influence circulating growth hormone (GH) levels,...

  • Assessment of factors regulating growth hormone binding in pigs

    Creator:
    Mullins, Tracy M.
    Abstract:
    These studies were conducted to examine the influence of several variables on the growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) in serum of pigs. Continuous long term porcine somatotropin (pST) injections (daily for 6-7 wk) increased GHBP activity (p < .05). However, periodic short term pST injections (daily, every second d or...
