[Physiologic role of the somatotrophic GH-IGF and others hormones in the domestic animals growth. Influence of the nutritional status].
In this review main hormones involved in development and muscle growth are shown with special emphasis on growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factors (IGF). Chemist composition, synthesis place, action way and main action mechanisms of these hormones are reviewed. Nutritional factors which modified seric metabolites, and their effects on hormone secretion are detailed. It was observed that GH, IGF, thyroid hormones, insulin, glucocorticoids and sexual steroids act in a complex and cordinated way to produce a productive response to different> nutritional strategies.
