Physiological role of growth hormone (GH)-releasing factor and somatostatin in the dynamics of GH secretion in adult male rat.

abstract：:The insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) comprise at least six distinct species that may modulate the action of IGFs. IGFs are important regulators of fetal growth and differentiation. To define sites of IGFBP mRNA synthesis, we have used in situ hybridization techniques in mouse conceptuses of differe...
