Transgenic Mice Reveal Novel Activities of Growth Hormone in Wound Repair, Angiogenesis, and Myofibroblast Differentiation
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
An increasing number of patients are being treated with growth hormone (GH) for the enhancement of body growth but also as an anti-aging strategy. However, the side effects of GH have been poorly defined. In this study we determined the effect of GH on wound repair and its mechanisms of action at the wound site. For this purpose, we performed wound healing studies in transgenic mice overexpressing GH. Full...
