Growth hormone porcine, effect

Table Only the 32 mg dose elicited significant increases in body weight gain after 7 injections however, the fourteen day responses to 4 and 16 mg also were statistically significant. Porcine growth hormone (PGH) enhanced weight increases after 7 and 14 injections at all doses. In comparing the effects of PPP(H) and PGH, it was apparent that the former was appreciably less efficacious in stimulating body weight gain. Similar results were obtained in adult...

Some of these compounds could be considered as dietary additives, but various other terms, including pesticides, can also be used. They can have beneficial effects on the environment and this aspect will be discussed later. The ionophore monensin, which is an alicyclic polyether (Figure 1), is a secondary metabolite of Streptomyces and aids the prevention of coccidiosis in poultry. Monensin is used as a growth promoter in cattle and also to decrease methane production, but it is toxic to equine animals. " Its ability to act as an ionophore is dependent on its cyclic chelating effect on metal ions. ° The hormones bovine somatotropin (BST) and porcine somatotropin (PST), both of which are polypeptides, occur naturally in lactating cattle and pigs, respectively, but can also be produced synthetically using recombinant DNA methods and administered to such animals in order to increase milk yields and lean meat production.

Deli et al. (2005) presented permeability data from various in vitro BBB models by measuring transendothe-lial electrical resistance (TEER) and by calculation of permeability coefficients for paracellular or transendothelial tracers. These authors summarized the results of primary cultures of cerebral microvascular endothelial cells or immortalized cell lines from bovine, human, porcine, and rodent origin. This also described the effect of coculture with astroglia, neurons, mesenchymal cells, blood cells, and conditioned media, as well as the physiological influence of serum components, hormones, growth factors, lipids, and lipoproteins on the BBB fimction.
