Abstract
Growth hormone (Connaught) was given in 1 mg. daily doses to rats either otherwise untreated or given sufficient DCA or Compound F to elicit a moderate hypertensive response. At the dose level used, growth hormone did not affect either blood pressure or kidney size in treated or untreated animals. The dose used was a 5th the amt. found to increase renal function in the dog and 10 times the dose required for trophic effects in the rat.Keywords
