Journal of Endocrinology, 163(2), 353-361. https://doi.org/10.1677/joe.0.1630353

Many of the anabolic effects of growth hormone (GH) are indirect, occurring through GH-stimulated production of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) by the liver. As well as being regulated by GH, plasma IGF-I concentrations have been demonstrated to...

{GABAC} receptors mediate rapid inhibitory neurotransmission in retina. We have mapped, in detail, the human genes which encode the three polypeptides that comprise this receptor: ρ1 (GABRR1), ρ2 (GABRR2) and ρ3 (GABRR3). We show that {GABRR1} and {G...
