APPLICATION OF THE STIMULATING FACTOR OF HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE SECRETION, ITS ACTIVE FRAGMENTS AND RELATED ANALOGS, TO INCREASE MILK PRODUCTION AND WEIGHT OF NEWBORN IN MAMMALS

摘要

P To increase milk production in mammals, including humans, and / or to increase the birth weight of newborns and to improve postnatal growth, the mother is provided during pregnancy , an effective amount of hGRF or an analogue thereof, or an active fragment of hGRF or one of its analogues. Thus, to increase milk production, the active ingredient is provided over a period of about 10-20 days at the end of the second third of gestation, and to increase the weight of newborns at birth and improve the post-natal growth, the active ingredient supplied to the mother over a period of the order of 10-20 days immediately preceding parturition. To the advantage of a short-term treatment, is added the fact that the active ingredient, and in particular hGRF (1-29), is a non-specific molecule, therefore applicable to all species and which is part of protein hormones that are completely degraded by the body. / P
