Abstract excerpt
Although C2C12 myoblasts express low levels of growth hormone receptor (GHR), we failed to see any effect of exogenous growth hormone (GH) on cell proliferation or differentiation. C2C12 cells stably overexpressing (sixfold) more in GHR (C2C12(GHR)) grew faster than parental cells in media containing 2% serum, and proliferated while parental cells died, in the absence of serum. These effects were independent of...
