Effects of bovine and human growth hormone-releasing hormone (GRF) analogs (bGRF(1-29)-NH2: bGRF-29, [D-Ala2, Ala15]-bGRF-29, [D-Ala2]-hGRF(1-29)-NH2: [D-Ala2]-hGRF-29), bovine GRF (bGRF(1-44)-NH2: bGRF-44), as well as rat GRF (rGRF) on GH release were studied in female calves. Intravenous (i.v.) bolus injections of 0.25 microg/kg BW of bGRF-29, [D-Ala2, Ala15]-bGRF-29, and [D-Ala2]-hGRF-29 stimulated GH release. Plasma GH levels began to rise 10 min after the injection of each peptide, and significant increases in GH concentrations were obtained at 60, 180 and 150 min after the injection of bGRF-29, [D-Ala2, Ala15]-bGRF-29 and [D-Ala2]-hGRF-29, respectively. The concentrations of GH 80 min after the injection of [D-Ala2, Ala15]-bGRF-29 were significantly higher than those after the injection of [D-Ala2]-hGRF-29 (except at 80 and 90 min) or bGRF-29. The i.v. bolus injections of 0.25 microg/kg BW of bGRF-44 and rGRF stimulated GH release, and the GH-releasing potency of rGRF was approximately equal to that of bGRF-44. The plasma GH responses to the repeated i.v. injection of bGRF-29 or [D-Ala2, Ala15]-bGRF-29 at 2-h intervals were examined. bGRF-29 acutely increased plasma GH levels after each injection, and the high GH levels decreased to the basal values within 2 h. In contrast, high GH levels induced by [D-Ala2, Ala15]-bGRF-29 were gradually decreased but not lowered to basal values throughout the experiment. These results show that [D-Ala2, Ala15]-bGRF-29 has longer-lasting and greater GH-releasing activity than the other GRF analogs in female calves, and the GH-releasing potency of rat GRF is approximately equal to that of bovine GRF in cattle in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007275 Injections, Intravenous Injections made into a vein for therapeutic or experimental purposes. Intravenous Injections,Injection, Intravenous,Intravenous Injection
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. Radioimmunoassays

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.

D012636 Secretory Rate The amount of a substance secreted by cells or by a specific organ or organism over a given period of time; usually applies to those substances which are formed by glandular tissues and are released by them into biological fluids, e.g., secretory rate of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex, secretory rate of gastric acid by the gastric mucosa.

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.
