Growth hormone secretion in genetic large (LL) and small (SS) rats.

Abstract:

:We investigated whether genetic selection for growth influences pituitary GH secretion in two strains of rats, LL (large) and SS (small). Animals were bled every 15 min for 6 h via an indwelling atrial Silastic catheter, and GH levels were determined by RIA. LL and SS males displayed a low frequency, high amplitude episodic pattern of GH secretion, with surges of GH occurring at 3- to 4-h intervals, separated by trough periods of approximately 60-120 min. In contrast, LL females showed a high frequency, low amplitude pattern of GH secretion, with GH pulses occurring every 1-2 h. The number of GH pulses in SS females was lower than that in LL females. SS males and SS females displayed lower peak amplitudes and lower baseline levels and, therefore, lower mean plasma GH levels compared to LL animals. The anterior pituitary GH content was not significantly different in LL and SS animals of either sex. Thus, the reduction of GH levels in SS animals is most likely the result of reduced release of GH-releasing factor from the hypothalamus or an attenuated pituitary sensitivity to GH-releasing factor.
