Abstract excerpt
The effect of continuous human GH (hGH) secretion on female reproduction was studied in adult female transgenic rats expressing the hGH gene with a mouse whey acidic protein (mWAP) promoter. Two lines of transgenic female rats carrying the mWAP/hGH gene were established and used in the study. One was characterized by relatively high levels of serum hGH (high line), and the other had relatively low levels (low...
