C. aRadioimmunossay for ovine and caprine growth hormonebits application to the measuremente of basal circulating levels of growth hormone in the goat.h[electronic resource] c1975 aA specific double antibody radioimmunoassay for ovine and caprine growth hormone (GH) is described in which a comparison is made between the results obtained with purified preparations of ovine and caprine GH as the labelled antigens. Measurement of the circulating levels of GH in plasma taken from four lactating female, four castrated male and four virgin female goats showed no significant differences between the levels of GH in lactating and non-lactating animals. Marked variations in plasma GH were found between samples from different goats and between samples from the same goat. Possible reasons for these variations are discussed. aEndocrinology aGoats aHormones aRadioimmunoassays aReproduction aSheep aCaprino aEndocrinologia aFisiologia aReprodução aBasal levels aGH aGrowth hormone1 aFLUX, D.
