Abstract
SUMMARY: Growth hormone has been prepared from sheep pituitary glands by chromatography of a simple buffer extract on DEAE-cellulose. The preparation appears to be free of other anterior pituitary hormones but shows two main components when analysed by starch gel electrophoresis. These components appear similar to those present in standard preparations of ox growth hormone. Sheep growth hormone prepared by this method is not significantly less active than purified ox growth hormone when compared by the tibial-epiphysial cartilage response in hypophysectomized rats.Keywords
