To read the full abstract: Nature Communications, 2019; 10 (1); 662This paper highlights the brain as a key target for growth hormone (GH) signaling affecting mostly energy conservation. To identify GH response neurons, C57BL/6 mice received intraperitoneal injection of saline or GH and their brains were processed to detect the phosphorylation of pSTAT5 as a marker of GH receptor a...
