Article Synopsis
- Pituitary growth hormone (GH) is crucial for growth in animals and its effectiveness is linked to the presence of its receptor (GHr) in various tissues.
- Researchers studied the expression of gastric GHr mRNA in Large White and Erhualian boars at different ages using RT-PCR, noting changes in their body and gastric weights.
- The study found that GHr mRNA levels exhibited unique developmental patterns between the two breeds, with significant changes over time and a positive correlation between GHr expression and gastric weight relative to body weight.
