Although standard preparations of growth hormone activated hormone-sensitive lipase in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, more highly purified preparations of human and bovine hormones were not lipolytic in this system. We found that the standard preparations were contaminated with a lipolytic substance which was removed during purification of the growth hormone. The purified growth hormone likewise did not stimulate lipolysis in adipose tissue from fasted rats. Dexamethasone had no potentiating activity in either assay.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Highly targeted therapies have been developed for different subtypes of breast cancer, including hormone receptor (HR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. However, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and metastatic breast cancer disease are primarily treated with chemotherapy, which improves disease-free and overall survival, but does not offer a curative solution for these aggressive forms of breast cancer.

Salt stress severely affects the growth and development of tomato. Strigolactones (SLs) and DNA methylation have been shown to be involved in the growth and development and response to salt stress in tomato. However, the regulation of SLs on DNA methylation in tomato under salt stress remains unclear.

Oxytetracycline (OTC), a crop-absorbable antibiotic, poses a health risk to humans through the food chain. Conversely, 24-epibrassinolide (EBL), a plant growth hormone, mitigates the toxic effects of various pollutants on plants. However, the mechanism by which exogenous EBL affects the growth of rape seedlings exposed to OTC remains largely unknown.
