Muscular hypertrophy and growth-promoting effects in juvenile pejerrey (Odontesthes bonariensis) after oral administration of recombinant homologous growth hormone obtained by a highly efficient refolding process
2011-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Growth hormone (GH) can be orally administrated to fish in order to increase growth rates. Fish growth is characterized by the hyperplasia and hypertrophy of muscle fibre throughout adult life. In this respect, GH could affect directly and indirectly (by growth and metabolic factors) the development and growth of muscle fibres. Recombinant pejerrey GH (r-pjGH) was expressed in Escherichia coli and refolded in a hi...
