Effect of growth hormone treatment on the distribution of insulin-like growth factor-I between plasma and lymph of lactating sheep

Abstract: Plasma and mammary efferent lymph concentrations of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) were determined in lactating ewes before and after treatment with GH (10 mg/day) for 3 days. The lymph:plasma ratio of IGF-I increased from 0.34 to 0.47 after GH treatment when the IGF-I content of plasma increased by 19.4 nmol/l (from 32.1 nmol/l) and lymph by 13.7 nmol/l (from 10.7 nmol/l). This increase in the relative content of IGF-I in lymph was associated with increased lymph content of IGF-I in a lower molecular ma… Show more

“…In both LW and MS pigs, the GH infusion increased plasma IGF-I levels in accordance with previous findings in pigs Sillence and Etherton, 1987;Owens et al, 1990) and sheep (Davis et al, 1992 (Rose et al, 1991) and IGF-I concentrations (Luna et al, 1983;Massa et al, 1992;Olivi6 et al, 1995) has been described during pubertal development. It is followed by a postpubertal decline in plasma GH and IGF-I concentrations (Corpas et al, 1993).…”

“…Column chromatography of plasma revealed this material probably represented degraded products of IGFs. These were presumably formed in vivo after internalization of the peptide by cells (Banskota, et al, 1986;Bar, et al, 1986;Schalch, Sessions, Farley, Masakawa, Elmer & Dills, 1986) Lord et al (1991) for lambs and Davis, Hodgkinson, Prosser & Gluckman (1992) for sheep, but differs from human lymph (Binoux & Hossenlopp, 1988) in that the latter is virtually devoid of the doublet running at 41-46 kDa.…”

“…The remaining IGF is associated with several different IGFBPs of approximate molecular mass of 40 kDa. This latter fraction in plasma consists of at least three different IGFBPs: IGFBP-1, (Binoux & Hossenlopp 1988, Lord et al 1991, Cohick et al 1992, Davis et al 1992). The function of the IGFBPs is not completely known, but they have the ability to reduce plasma clearance and restrict passage of IGFs out of the vascular space into tissues (Cascieri et al 1988, Francis et al 1988, Ballard et al 1991).…”
