The effects of growth hormone administration in vivo on skeletal muscle glutamine metabolism of the rat.
Human growth hormone administration to the rat for 3 or 10 days increased the concentrations of glutamine in both skeletal muscle and plasma and the rate of glutamine release was increased from muscle isolated from rats treated with growth hormone for 3 days. Growth hormone may therefore play an important role in the control of glutamine metabolism in muscle.
