Abstract: Investigates effects of lifelong dietary restriction (DR) on growth hormone (GH) immunoreactivity and secretory function of somatotropes. Lifelong DR modulates somatotropes response to GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) using reverse hemolytic plaque assay (RHPA); Hypothalamic release and synthesis of GHRH; Major action of DR on somatotropes.
