Effect of Growth Hormone and Antibiotics upon Nitrogen Mustard Treated Rats.

Abstract
A study was made to determine the influence of somatotropic hormone (STH) and antibiotics on HN-2 treated rats. Our results indicate that the combination of STH and antibiotics provided the most highly effective protective action against the HN-2 induced catabolism. STH alone appeared to aggravate the toxic phenomenon, whereas the action of antibiotics alone was of some benefit in preventing the extreme catabolic manifestations of HN-2.
