  • Title: Inhibitory effect of growth hormone on Gross passage A virus-induced thymus leukemia in C3Hf mice.
    Author: Duquesnoy RJ, Pedersen GM.
    Journal: Cancer Res; 1979 Feb; 39(2 Pt 1):415-8. PubMed ID: 761214.
    Abstract:
    Administration of ovine growth hormone to young C3Hf mice inhibited Gross passage A virus-induced leukemogenesis as manifested by a delayed onset and a lower incidence of thymus leukemia. These results can be interpreted that growth hormone inhibited thymus-dependent leukemogenesis perhaps through thymotrophic influences which prevented or delayed the thymus involution believed to be essential for leukemia change. In female but not in male Gross passage A virus-infected mice, development of a thymus-independent leukemia appeared to be promoted by growth hormone.
