1. Bovine growth hormone (bGH) was injected into tilapia intramuscularly at a dose of 50 micrograms/100 g/day for a total of five injections. Control fish received saline instead. 2. The serum concentrations of amino acid and glucose were significantly higher and hepatic glycogen concentration and glycogen synthetase activity significantly lower in the bGH-treated fish than those in the control fish. 3. The serum concentrations of protein, lipid and cholesterol, and the hepatic concentrations of protein and lipid, remained unaltered after bGH treatment. 4. The results suggest that bGH exerts anti-insulin effects in tilapia.
