Abstract excerpt
The anterior pituitary contains insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) and expresses abundant IGF-II-binding sites, but the IGF-II signaling pathway in the pituitary has not been defined. We, therefore, tested the effects of recombinant human IGF-II on pituitary function by assessing the GH respo...
