In a 2 x 2 treatment array (n = 4 pigs/treatment), the effects of feed intake (ad libitum vs. restricted to 60% ad libitum) and the daily administration of excipient buffer or porcine pituitary-derived growth hormone (GH) at a dose of 100 micrograms/kg body weight per day on serum GH profile and human growth hormone-releasing factor (hGRF) response were examined in barrows weighing 55 kg. Feed intake treatment was implemented from 25 to 55 kg live weight. Buffer or GH treatment was implemented for 10 d before sampling. After GH treatment, the integrated serum GH concentration area was 25% greater in barrows fed restrictively. Data are consistent with the suggestion that GH dose to improve the efficiency of lean tissue deposition be adjusted according to feeding regimen. The serum GH response to hGRF was also altered by level of feed intake. The ad libitum feeding of buffer-treated animals resulted in a monophasic serum GH response to hGRF, whereas barrows fed restrictively had a biphasic response to hGRF. Together, these data suggest that feed intake pattern alters GH secretion and as such could influence the practical implementation of somatotropin as a metabolism modifier in swine.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013006 Growth Hormone A polypeptide that is secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation and cell growth. Species-specific growth hormones have been synthesized.

D013007 Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone A peptide of 44 amino acids in most species that stimulates the release and synthesis of GROWTH HORMONE. GHRF (or GRF) is synthesized by neurons in the ARCUATE NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, GHRF stimulates GH release by the SOMATOTROPHS in the PITUITARY GLAND.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
