GRF (1-44) (porcine) Chemical Properties,Usage,Production
Uses
GHRF, porcine is a growth hormone releasing factor (GHRF) peptide (porcine). GHRF binds to GHSR and induces the release of growth hormone[1][2].
in vivo
GHRF, porcine (0.5 μg/kg, i.v.) increases plasma concentrations of porcine somatotropin (pST) in pigs[2].
Animal Model:
Pigs[2]
Dosage:
0.5 μg/kg
Administration:
Intravenous injection (i.v.)
Result:
Increased plasma concentrations of porcine somatotropin (pST) in control pigs, without any pST response in pST-treated pigs.
