Effect of lactation, pregnancy and somatotropin treatment on plasma IGF-1concentrations, IGF-1 partition between binding protein groups and bindingprotein pattern in goats

摘要

To elucidate the role of IGF-1 in the galactopoietic effect of somatotropin, the partition of plasma IGF-1 between groups of binding proteins (BP) was studied in goats at different stages of pregnancy, lactation and somatotropin treatment.
