Abstract excerpt
The intracellular signalling molecule and transcriptional activator STAT5b is a key mediator of the effects of intermittent plasma growth hormone (GH) pulses on the male-specific pattern of liver gene expression and pubertal body growth rates in rodents. Experiments with Stat5b gene-knockout mice have revealed that these GH-regulated, male-specific phenotypes are a direct consequence of GH pulse-dependent STAT5b...
