...Mehul T. Dattani; Patricia A. Ealey; Jane Pringle; Peter C. Hindmarsh; Charles G.D. Brook; Nicholas J. Marshall We compared the bioactivity attributable to human growth hormone (hGH) in serum samples, determined at the time of their collection, with that after storage for 2-18 months at -20 °C...

... immunoreactivities and bioactivities. The nonglycosylated hPRL (NG-hPRL), unbound to lectins, was the major form and was a species (NG1-hPRL), of 23,000 (M r ) apparent molecular weight. The lectin-bound glycosylated hPRL (G-hPRL) consisted of three forms, G1-, G2- and G3-hPRL, of identical molecular weights (25,000...

... of T 3 and FT 3 I in the patients suggests that SHBG responds to the altered thyroid hormone milieu of burn injury. It is postulated that elevated serum E 2 perhaps from adrenal precursors promotes an alteration of hypothalamic function resulting in a markedly reduced secretion of bioactive LH...
