Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mice transgenic for bovine growth hormone (bGH) gene have increased body weight and severe glomerulosclerosis leading to death in uremia. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The aim of this study was to determine if body growth and glomerulosclerosis were mediated by different bGH regions. Amino acid substitutions in the bGH alpha-helix III were generated, and lines of transgenic mice that expressed these products...
