Rapid changes in anterior pituitary cell phenotypes in male and female mice after acute cold stress.

abstract：:To determine in neonates the effects of protein restriction on growth, serum IGF-I, and IGF-I gene expression, we adapted a technique for rearing neonatal rats (days 6-18 of life) artificially by continuous infusion of milk through a gastrostomy. The artificially reared (AR) animals were given isocaloric diets contain...
