Mouse placental lactogen-I: RIA and gestational profile in maternal serum.

abstract：:Growth hormone-releasing factor-like immunoreactivity (GRF-LI) was detected in partially purified extracts of rat hypothalamus and duodenum with a highly specific RIA for rat GRF (rGRF). The concentration of rGRF-LI in the rat hypothalamus was 32.5 fmol/mg dry weight (455 fmol or 3.18 ng/region), while the rat duodenu...
