Sexual Dimorphism of Rat Liver Gene Expression: Regulatory Role of Growth Hormone Revealed by Deoxyribonucleic Acid Microarray Analysis
23 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
GH has diverse physiological actions and regulates the tissue-specific expression of numerous genes involved in growth, metabolism, and differentiation. Several of the effects of GH on somatic growth and gene expression are sex dependent and are regulated by pituitary GH secretory patterns, which are sexually differentiated. The resultant sex differences in plasma GH profiles are particularly striking in rodents...
