Growth Hormone
Evaluation of DNA polymorphisms involving growth hormone relative to growth and carcass characteristics in Brahman steers
Authors: V.R. Beauchemin, M.G. Thomas, D.E. Franke2 and G.A. Silver
Associations of DNA polymorphisms in growth hormone (GH) relative to growth and carcass characteristics in growing Brahman steers (N = 324 from 68 sires) were evaluated. Polymorphisms were an Msp-I RFLP and a leucine/valine SNP in the GH gene as well as a Hinf-I RFLP and a histidine/arginine SNP in transcriptional regulators o.. Read More»

Survival of the thriftiest: restricted nurture reveals the thrifty nature of a growth gene in Bos indicus
Authors: S.U. Dani, M.A.C. Dani, I.L. Freire, S.P. Gouvea, F.B. Knackfuss, F.P. Lima, M.E.Z. Mercadante, E. Monteiro, S.M.G. Paggiaro, A.G. Razook and H.C. Yehia
Growth hormone (GH) is a part of the somatotropic axis that controls metabolism, growth, development and aging in a wide range of animals. Mutations that reduce GH signaling have been associated with extended life spans and increased longevity in ways similar to what is observed in dietary restriction (DR) models. However, the..

Effect of casein genes - beta-LGB, DGAT1, GH, and LHR - on milk production and milk composition traits in crossbred Holsteins
Authors: A. Molee, C. Poompramun and P. Mernkrathoke
The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of a single gene and composite genotype of the casein gene family, including the beta-lactoglobulin gene (beta-LGB), acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 gene (DGAT1), growth hormone gene (GH), and luteinizing hormone receptor gene (LHR) on milk yield, milk composition, the percentage of fat..

Synergistic and threshold effects of GH1 and GHR promoter size variation on body growth and fat accrual in young Nelore (Bos indicus) bulls
Authors: M.A. Dani, M. von Cube, I.L. Freire, L. Suguisawa, C. Fischer, S.U. Dani
A synergistic effect in the somatotropic axis (GH1-GHR-IGF1) was observed in 736 young Nelore (Bos indicus) bulls under ad libitum grass feeding conditions on irrigated pasture in central Brazil. Stepwise substitution of shorter alleles of the promoter region of the growth hormone gene (GH1) and the P1 promoter of the GH1 rece.. Read More»

Growth hormone polymorphisms and growth traits in Chinese Tibetan sheep Ovis aries
Authors: Y.C. Han, Y.G. Sun and Q. Li
Growth hormone (GH) plays an important role in promoting growth, protein and muscle accretion, and fat catabolism, suggesting that GH is a potential candidate gene affecting growth traits in vertebrates. In this paper, polymorphisms in GH were investigated in 632 Chinese Tibetan sheep, by using DNA sequencing. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms were id.. Read More»

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 genes are associated with milk production, body condition score and fertility traits in dairy cows
Authors: M.P. Mullen, C.O. Lynch, S.M. Waters, D.J. Howard, P. O��?Boyle, D.A. Kenny, F. Buckley, B. Horan and M.G. Diskin
The somatotrophic axis (GH-IGF) is a key regulator of animal growth and development, affecting performance traits that include milk production, growth rate, body composition, and fertility. The aim of this study was to quantify the association of previously identified SNPs in bovine growth hormone (GH1) and insulin-like growth.. Read More»

Growth hormone mRNA expression in the pituitary of Bos indicus and Bos taurus x Bos indicus crossbred young bulls treated with recombinant bovine somatotropin
Authors: S.M.Z. Di Mauro, L.R. Furlan, M.I.T. Ferro, M. Macari andJ.A. Ferro
The effects of breed and of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) treatment on growth hormone gene expression were studied in young bulls. The experiment was completely randomized in a [2 x 2]-factorial arrangement, using two levels of rbST (0 or 250 mg/animal/14 days), and two breed groups (Nelore and Simmental x Nelore cros..
