Abstract excerpt
Growth hormone (GH)-induced signaling results in numerous effects in multiple tissues throughout the body. Elucidation of several of these effects has come from studies observing the various phenotypes of the GH receptor (GHR) gene-disrupted (GHR-/-) mouse. These mice are dwarf and obese with increased insulin sensitivity, are resistant to cancer and diabetes, and have an extended lifespan. While these mice have...
