Abstract excerpt
GH is normally secreted in a pulsatile fashion. When GH is deficient, dwarfism is the result in both rodents and humans. An adenoviral vector containing the rat GH complementary DNA was used to induce constitutive GH expression in hepatocytes of GH-deficient lit/lit mice. Elevated serum GH increased circulating insulin-like growth factor I concentrations, corrected the growth deficiency, and normalized body...
