RÉSUMÉDans les schémas de sélection actuels, l'appréciation du potentiel génétique d'une vache laitière ne peut se réaliser que tardivement avec l'instauration d'une production. Il est également bien établi que la régulation endocrinienne de la lactation est un phénomène complexe dans lequel l'hormone de croissance (GH) et son médiateur hépatique l'Insulin-Like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) jouent un rôle central. Dans ce texte, les différentes applications possibles de ces hormones en tant que critère de sélection en production laitière sont discutées.

Growth Factor I

Sepsis causes an inhibition of protein synthesis in gastrocnemius that is resistant to the anabolic effects of insulin. The purpose of the present studies was to investigate the effect of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on protein synthesis during a 30-min perfusion of the isolated rat hindlimb from septic rats. Inclusion of IGF-I (1 or 10 nM) in the perfusate stimulated protein synthesis in gastrocnemius of septic rats 2.5-fold and restored rates of protein synthesis to those observed in control rats. The stimulation of protein synthesis did not result from an increase in the RNA content but was correlated with a 2.5-fold increase in the translational efficiency. The enhanced translational efficiency was accompanied by a 33 and 55% decrease in the abundance of free 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits, respectively, indicating that IGF-I accelerated peptide-chain initiation relative to elongation/termination. These studies provide evidence that IGF-I can accelerate protein synthesis in gastrocnemius during chronic sepsis by reversing the sepsis-induced inhibition of peptide-chain initiation.
