Association of a PIT1 gene polymorphism with growth hormone mRNA levels in pig pituitary glands

Association of a PIT1 gene polymorphism with growth hormone mRNA levels in pig pituitary glands

Fourty-six non-castrated, halothane-free, male Landrace pigs were genotyped by PCR-RFLP for the Rsa I polymorphism in the PIT1 gene and classified into AA and AB genotypes. Total RNA was extracted from the pituitaries and the relative quantities of growth hormone (GH) mRNA were determined by semi-qu...
