Abstract
Mature female rats (200 g) were treated for 10 days with either recombinant bovine GH (bGH) or recombinant bovine placental lactogen (bPL) to compare the somatogenic responses elicited by these hormones. The treatments were administered by daily s.c. injection at four dose levels (0·19, 0·56, 1·67 and 5·0 mg/day). Both bGH and bPL stimulated significant increases in weight gain, but the slopes of the dose–response curves were different (PPPPJournal of Endocrinology (1991) 130, 11–19Keywords
