|
The different molecular weight forms of immunoreactive growth hormone (irGH) secreted by the anterior pituitary of rats were evaluated during basal and stimulated secretion in vitro and in vivo. Anterior pituitary cells maintained in a monolayer culture system secreted only a 22,000-Da form of GH based on Sephacryl S-200 column chromatography. This was also true for the irGH secreted in response to growth hormone-releasing factor and prostaglandin E2 stimulation. In contrast, the molecular weight forms of irGH found in plasma under basal conditions included an approximately 90,000-Da form as well as the expected 22,000-Da form. The concentrations of both forms increased following growth hormone-releasing factor stimulation although there was a shift in the ratio of the forms secreted. These results suggest that the larger molecular weight forms of rat GH observed in plasma may be the result of some postsecretory process which occurs in blood and suggests a possible regulatory function for the larger molecular weight forms as it pertains to the bioavailability of GH in vivo. |
