EGH

EGH

Equine Growth Hormone or EGH is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland in the brain. Equine Growth Hormone promotes tissue repair, cell regeneration in the bones, muscles and vital organs, and supports the immune system in combating infection and disease.

Equine growth hormone (eGH) had a positive effect on equine oocyte maturation. The objective of this study was to determine the location of eGH-receptor (eGH-R) on equine ovarian structures, including follicular wall, oocyte and cumulus oocyte complexes.

Additionally, we observed if the eGH influences on oocyte maturation is removed when specific inhibitors against growth hormones are added to the culture in vitro. Real-time reverse transcriptionPCR (RT-PCR) and immunocytochemistry methods were used to localize eGH-R in equine follicles and oocytes. Paraffin sections comprising the equine oocyte attached to the follicular wall were treated by streptavidin-biotin method for immunochemical detection.
