The role of growth hormone in regulating protein turnover was examined in a perfused preparation of rat skeletal muscle. The perfused muscle maintained in vivo levels of ATP and creatine phosphate and exhibited constant rates of oxygen consumption and protein synthesis. Hypophysectomy reduced the rate of protein synthesis, the concentration of RNA, and the efficiency of protein synthesis in gastrocnemius muscle to 30, 46, and 66 percent of normal, respectively. In vivo treatment of hypophysectomized (hypox) rats with bovine growth hormone (250 microgram/day for 5 days) resulted in small increases in protein synthesis and RNA, whereas synthesis/RNA was returned to near normal. Elevation of ribosomal subunits in psoas muscle indicated an inhibition of peptide-chain initiation in hypox rats that was reversed by in vivo growth hormone treatment. Thus, hypox rats exhibited both a decreased capacity and a decreased efficiency of protein synthesis. Growth hormone replacement primarily increased efficiency of protein synthesis. The rate of protein degradation and the activity of cathepsin D in gastrocnemius muscle were decreased by hypophysectomy. Growth hormone treatment had no significant effect on degradation.

Using trace amounts of C14 glucose, introduced intravenously by a priming injection along with a continuous constant infusion, the effect of a growth hormone regimen on the size of body glucose pool and on the rate of glucose utilization as well as production was studied in unanesthetized normal and hypophysectomized dogs. In both types of animals the growth hormone regimen increased the size of the body glucose pool. More significantly the growth hormone regimen increased the rate of glucose utilization as well as the rate of glucose production. It is proposed that the inhibitory effect of injected growth hormone on glucose uptake observed in isolated diaphragm is overcome in vivo by an increased endogenous insulin secretion evoked by the extra glucose produced as a result of the growth hormone treatment.
