Linear growth and skeletal maturation occur during fetal and childhood development and
continue until epiphyseal fusion occurs. This process results from endochondral ossification …

The pituitary of a number of teleosts contains two gonadotropins (GtHs) which are produced
in distinct populations of cells; the β subunit of the GtH I being found in close proximity to the …

I. Introduction IT IS with great interest that we follow the continued expansion and refinement
of Harris' classical concept concerning the neuroendocrine control of pituitary gland function …

Antiestrogens are widely used in the management of hormonally responsive breast cancer
in both adjuvant and palliative settings, and are currently being evaluated as …

The 20-kDa growth hormone (GH) is generated from alternative splicing of the primary
transcript of full-length 22-kDa GH. We have studied the regulation of 20-kDa GH over a …

Estrogen (E) and T3 regulate gene expression by receptor mechanisms that may enable
hormonal interplay affecting growth and metabolism. Prior studies of E and tamoxifen (TM) …

Yellow perch (Perca flavescens) exhibit an estrogen stimulated sexual sizedimorphism
(SSD) wherein females grow faster and larger than males. In an effort togain better …
