IGF-1 Induces GHRH Neuronal Axon Elongation during Early Postnatal Life in Mice.
Nutrition during the perinatal period programs body growth.Growth hormone (GH) secretion from the pituitary regulates body growth and is controlled by Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) neurons located in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus.We observed that dietary restriction during the early postnatal period (i.e.lactation) in mice influ
