Gene expression in skeletal muscle after an acute intravenous GH bolus in human subjects: identification of a mechanism regulating ANGPTL4
21 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Growth hormone (GH) acutely stimulates lipolysis and fat oxidation, a process that operates postabsorptively and involves activation of the JAK-STAT pathway in the target tissue; no in vivo data exist regarding subsequent GH-regulated gene transcription. We obtained serum samples and muscle biopsies in human subjects before and 2 h after administration of a GH bolus. A significant (~75%) elevation in serum FFA...
