SELECTIVE EFFECTS OF GROWTH HORMONE ON RATS FED A TRYPTOPHAN-LOW DIET1

Abstract
Administration of growth hormone failed to promote an increment in body weight in rats fed a tryptophan-low diet. Growth hormone therapy, however, did cause a resumption of chondrogenesis and osteogenesis in the epiphyseal region of the tibia, bone formation in alveolar bone and the formation of normal appearing incisal dentin.
