Ontogenic study of insulin-like growth factor-1 and growth hormone receptor mRNA expression in porcine liver and skeletal muscle (1995)
Journal Article
Brameld, J. M., Weller, P. A., Pell, J. M., Buttery, P. J., & Gilmour, R. S. (1995). Ontogenic study of insulin-like growth factor-1 and growth hormone receptor mRNA expression in porcine liver and skeletal muscle. Animal Science, 61(2), 333-339. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1357729800013886

The growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor (GH-IGF) axis is involved in the control of postnatal growth in all animals studied to date. At birth, blood levels of IGF-1 are low, although levels of GH are high. Thus a switching occurs during the pos...

Hormonal control of insulin-like growth factor-I and growth hormone receptor mRNA expression by porcine hepatocytes in culture (1995)
Journal Article
Brameld, J. M., Weller, P. A., Saunders, J. C., Buttery, P. J., & Gilmour, R. S. (1995). Hormonal control of insulin-like growth factor-I and growth hormone receptor mRNA expression by porcine hepatocytes in culture. Journal of Endocrinology, 146(2), 239-245. https://doi.org/10.1677/joe.0.1460239

The effects of various hormones commonly added to hepatocyte culture media upon the expression of the GH receptor (GHR) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) genes in cultured porcine hepatocytes were investigated. Preliminary investigations indic... Read More about Hormonal control of insulin-like growth factor-I and growth hormone receptor mRNA expression by porcine hepatocytes in culture.
