Abstract
A culture system is described for the study of cellular responsiveness to growth hormone. The hormone acts directly on an established line of preadipose 3T3 cells and promotes their differentiation into adipose cells. This response is the basis of a sensitive and specific assay and does not depend on the participation of an intermediate effector.This publication has 36 references indexed in Scilit:
