Abstract excerpt
Suppressor of cytokine signaling-2 (SOCS2)-deficient (SOCS2-/-) mice grow significantly larger than their littermates, suggesting that SOCS2 is important in the negative regulation of the actions of GH and/or IGF-I. The aim of this study was to identify genes and metabolic parameters that might contribute to the SOCS2-/- phenotype. We demonstrate that although SOCS2 deficiency induces significant changes in...
