The effects of ovine growth hormone on protein turnover in rainbow trout

Abstract: Ovine growth hormone (oGH) was administered to rainbow trout via an intraperitoneal cholesterol implant. After 21 days, plasma oGH levels were recorded as control group, <2 ng ml -I, i.e., not detectable, and oGH group, 19.2 t 2.8 ng ml-'. oGH-treated fish exhibited significantly increased whole-body growth rates, whole-body protein accretion rates, stimulated tissue protein synthesis, and tissue protein accretion rates. A dramatic decrease in white muscle protein concentration was also observed after oGH trea… Show more

“…Fish respond to stress catabolically, utilising metabolic energy for numerous activities which together act to reduce growth rate. The administration of exogenous GH has been demonstrated to enhance growth in several fish species, including Oncorhynchus mykiss, O. kisutch, O. tshawytscha and Oreochromis mossambicus (Foster et al 1991, Flik et al 1993, McLean et al 1997. GH-induced growth enhancement suggests a reallocation of metabolic energy to anabolic processes and may be indicative of reduced stress as fish subjected to chronic stressors often exhibit compromised growth (Wendelaar Bonga 1997).…”

“…We have identified high-affinity, low-capacity binding sites for GH in tilapia liver. tPRL 177 binds to these sites, albeit with lower affinity than tGH, but equally as well as ovine GH, the actions of which on growth in teleosts have been described (12,47,48 (45,50). This suggests that the actions of tPRL 177 may overlap with those of tPRL 188 and tGH through its ability to bind to their receptors.…”

“…Seperti yang dilaporkan oleh beberapa peneliti bahwa dengan pemberian rGH dapat meningkatkan sintesis protein dan menurunkan sintesis lemak pada mamalia (Pell et al, 1990;Johnsson et al, 1987) dan menstimulasi anabolisme dalam meningkatkan penggantian dan sintesis protein pada ikan, yang terjadi pada hati dan otot dengan menstimulasi efisiensi dari translasi ribosom melalui peningkatan konsentrasi mRNA dan ribosom (Foster et al, 1991;Herbert et al, 2001). Mekanisme tersebut diduga melalui optimasi pemanfaatan protein sebagai sumber energi untuk pertumbuhan.…”
