Correlated responses in growth hormone to selection for weight gain in mice

Abstract: Correlated responses in pituitary gland weight and growth hormone (GH) concentration in the serum and pituitary were studied in lines of mice selected for growth rate, and in controls. The selection criteria were weight gain between 28 and 38 days on an ad libitum feed intake (EPA line), or on intake restricted to 80% of the control mice (EPR line), and weight gain between 48 and 58 days under the above two feeding regimes (LPA and LPR lines). The control line was maintained by random breeding. In generation 1… Show more

“…Due to the pulsatile nature of GH release profile, it is difficult to assess GH levels directly in mice. Pituitary size has been shown to correlate with levels of GH ; therefore, we assessed GH differences among B6 STAT5b KO, BALB STAT5b KO, and corresponding WT strains using the pituitary as a surrogate. Formalin‐fixed pituitaries from 10‐week‐old mice were isolated and weighed.…”

“…In terms of extrinsic factors, changes in the hormonal system in response to growth selection have been widely reported (e.g. Medrano et al 1991;Moride and Hayes 1993;Mitchell and Burke 1995;Gerrard and Judge 1993;Schadereit et al 1998;Bünger et al 1998). In contrast, there are only a few, partially contradictory, reports on changes of intrinsic cell properties in response to selection for growth and these are restricted to poultry (Orcutt and Young 1982;Ridpath et al 1984;McFarland et al 1995;Duclos et al 1996;Merly et al 1998) and sheep (Mathison et al 1989).…”
