| porcine somatotropin | <protein> A growth hormone found inpigs, injections of or implants containing thishormone cause pigs over 100 pounds to gain more muscle and less fat. Previously the hormone was very expensive because it could only be taken from the pituitary glands of slaughtered pigs, but in the early '90s researchers learned how to genetically engineered the bacterium E. Coli to produce it. The FDA has not yet approved this hormone for use. See: bovine somatotrophin. (09 Oct 1997) |

| bovine somatotropin | <protein> A growth hormone found incattle, a version of this hormone is also foundin all mammals, including humans. Injections of this hormonedramatically increase the milk production of lactating cows. In pastyears, the hormone was very expensive because it could only be taken from slaughtered cows, but in the early '90s researchers learned how to geneticallyengineered the bacterium E. Coli to produce it. Now, many dairy producers use the hormone, but the practice is controversial because the use of bST may increase the incidence of mastitis (udder infection) in cows, and the long-termhuman health effects of the slightly increased hormone levels in themilk from treated cows have not been established. See: porcine somatotrophin. (09 Oct 1997) |

| receptors, somatotropin | Cell surface proteins that bind somatotropin with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behaviour of cells. Activation of growth hormone receptors regulates amino acid transport through cell membranes, RNA translation to protein, DNA transcription, and protein and amino acid catabolism in many cell types. Many of these effects are mediated indirectly through stimulation of the release of somatomedins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| somatotropin | <protein> Hormone (191 amino acids) released by anterior pituitary that stimulates release of somatomedin, thereby causing growth. (18 Nov 1997) |
| somatotropin release-inhibiting factor | <protein> Gastrointestinal and hypothalmic peptide hormone (two forms: 14 and 28 residues), found in gastric mucosa, pancreatic islets, nerves of the gastrointestinal tract, in posterior pituitary and in the central nervous system. Inhibits gastric secretion and motility: in hypothalamus/pituitary inhibits somatotropin release. (18 Nov 1997) |

| somatotropin-releasing factor | A decapeptide released by the hypothalamus, which induces the release of human growth hormone (somatotropin). Synonym: growth hormone-releasing factor, growth hormone-releasing hormone, somatotropin-releasing factor, somatotropin-releasing hormone. Origin: somatotropin + L. Libero, to free, + -in (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatotropin-releasing hormone | <chemical> Hypothalamic peptide that regulates the synthesis and secretion of somatotropin in the anterior pituitary gland. Chemical name: Somatoliberin (12 Dec 1998) |
| gastroenteritis virus, porcine transmissible | A species of coronavirus causing a fatal disease to pigs under 3 weeks old. (12 Dec 1998) |
