Abstract
STUDYING the properties of pepsin-digested bovine and sheep growth hormone1 it was found that one fraction of the digest possessed electrophoretic and immunological properties similar to human growth hormone. The purpose of the present work was to compare the in-vivo behaviour of untreated and digested sheep growth hormones with the human hormone. This was tested by following the kinetics of the plasma disappearance of the radio-iodinated hormones.
