Human chorionic somatotropin

Only the effect of growth hormone and glucagon will be discussed. A number of observations demonstrate that growth hormone might play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes. The injection of growth hormone or of human chorionic somatotropin in animals and man impairs insulin secretion in the cell. Plasma... [Pg.506]

Human pituitary GH (somatotropin) is a 191-amino-acid peptide with two sulfhydryl bridges. Its structure closely resembles that of prolactin and the placental hormone human chorionic somatomammotropin. Pituitary-derived GH is no longer used (see below). Animal GH is not completely homologous to human GH and is ineffective in humans. [Pg.855]
