Is the modulator effect of GH on skeletal muscle lysosomal enzymes dietary protein dependent?
GH seems to act as a dietary protein-dependent modulator of the skeletal muscle lysosomal enzyme activity. These lysosomal enzymes play a role during muscle growth in GH-treated post-weaning mice by modifying muscle protein and DNA and RNA degradation.
Free fluid on abdominal CT scan does not mandate celiotomy. Serial observation with the possible use of other adjunctive tests is recommended.
