heal.abstract | In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism of growth retardation in the nephrotic syndrome, specific serum and hepatic growth factors were measured in Sprague-Dawley rats in which nephrotic syndrome was produced by administration of puromycin (1.5 mg.100 g body wt-1.day-1) for 12 days. On the 13th day, the results of these nephrotic animals were compared with those of an equal number of pair-fed and control animals: the mean dietary intake of the nephrotic group was 71% that of the control group (P < 0.001). Serum insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein-3 was significantly reduced (P < 0.005) in the nephrotic rats, compared with the pair-fed and the control groups. Hepatic IGF-I mRNA in the nephrotic rats averaged 36% that of control (P < 0.001) and 46% that of the pair-fed animals (P < 0.001). Hepatic growth hormone receptor (GHr) mRNA in the nephrotic rats averaged 19% of that of the control (P < 0.001) and 27% of that of the pair-fed rats (P < 0.001). These results indicate that the growth retardation of the nephrotic rats may be associated with the significant decrease in IGF-I mRNA and reduction in GHr mRNA. | en |
