Mouse/Rat growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that plays a central role in growth, metabolism, and tissue development in rodents. It regulates somatic growth, protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and glucose homeostasis. In mice and rats, GH exhibits pulsatile secretion patterns influenced by age, sex, and physiological state, making it a key biomarker for endocrine function and metabolic status in preclinical research. GH levels can be measured in plasma or serum using sensitive immunoassays such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) or radioimmunoassays (RIA).
In research, Mouse/Rat GH is widely used to study growth regulation, metabolic disorders, and endocrine signaling pathways. It is essential in investigations of developmental biology, obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic syndromes. Researchers monitor GH levels to assess pituitary function, evaluate the effects of pharmacological interventions, or study gene modifications that affect growth and metabolism. GH measurement also provides insights into the interactions between GH and other hormones, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), which mediates many of GH’s biological effects.
