A comparison of changes in whole body and skin amino acid metabolism of sheep in response to 24 h continuous infusions of variants of insulin-like growth factor 1

1997-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Because of the economic significance of wool to many sheep production systems, attempts to partition amino acids towards skin and wool protein synthesis have included both nutritional and hormonal methods of manipulation. A variant of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has previously been shown to transiently increase protein synthesis in the skin of sheep and the current study extended that work by comparing th...
