125I-Labeled hGH was bound to liver plasma membranes which were obtained from female rats. The binding was displaced by hGH, hPRL, bPRL, rPRL and bGH but not by rGH. This result indicated that hGH was bound to lactogenic binding sites in rat livers. After hypophysectomy, the binding was markedly decreased. Treatment of hypophysectomized rats with hGH (80 micrograms/day) for 10 days increased the binding sites for hGH. These binding sites were different from those found in normal female rat livers because of their high affinity and specificity for hGH. These results indicate that hGH induces specific binding sites for hGH in rat livers.
