Three to four weeks after hypophysectomy, the insulin content and glucose-stimulated insulin or total RNA synthesis in the pancreatic islets were estimated. The ratio of the glucose-stimulated insulin release to the islet insulin content was lowered. After shortterm GH replacement, insulin release and insulin content were slightly increased such that the ratio of release to content remained virtually unaltered. Glucose-stimulated insulin synthesis was also depressed but improved slightly after GH replacement. However, there was no significant change in the incorporation of [5-3H]uridine into islet total RNA after hypophysectomy or subsequent GH replacement.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
