The aim of this mini-review is to provide a comprehensive survey of the physiological role of
growth hormone (GH) in the Mediterranean sea bream (Sparus aurata). For this purpose …

Specific binding of gilthead sea bream growth hormone (sbGH) to liver membrane
preparations was a time and temperature dependent process, and was saturable by …

We have studied the seasonal relationship between growth and circulating growth hormone
(GH), hepatic GH-binding and plasma insulin-like growth factor-I immunoreactivity in …

dc. description. abstract Growth hormone (GH) is known to exert a myriad of functions
throughout the vertebrates and in fish, its growth-stimulating and osmoregulatory e# ects are …

This paper reviews the immunomodulatory effects, extra-pituitary expression and paracrine
action of growth hormone (GH), and a possible role of GH/insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) …

The growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) endocrine axis is the main
growth-regulator system in vertebrates. Some authors have demonstrated the positive …

The stimulatory action of growth hormone on gilthead sea bream phagocyte-enriched
cultures was demonstrated in vitro for the first time in a fish species. Phagocytes consisted …

We examined in a factorial design the effect of dietary protein (45%, 52% and 60%) and
lipids (8%, 12%, 17%) on growth performance and circulating growth hormone (GH) levels …

The endocrine control of growth and metabolism is interrelated and many of the endocrine
factors involved in the regulation of lipid and protein metabolism are also involved in nutrient …

Growth hormone regulates numerous processes in vertebrates including growth promotion
and lipid mobilization. During periods of food deprivation, growth is arrested yet lipid …
