Transformation of normal follicles into thyrotropin-refractory "cold" follicles in the aging mouse thyroid gland.

abstract：:The role of GH during the ovine estrous cycle is unknown. In this study, pituitary GH mRNA and peripheral serum GH levels were measured in ewes representing the major phases of the estrous cycle. There was a significant rise (P less than 0.05) in both GH mRNA and serum GH concentrations during the follicular phase of ...
