Abstract
The Growth hormone receptor (GHR) is expressed in many cells/tissues in the body. To investigate the specific metabolic effects of GH action in distinct tissues, several tissue-specific GHR gene disrupted or knockout (KO) mouse lines have been generated. Previously, we have described the effects of GHRKO in several known insulin sensitive tissues, namely liver, muscle and adipose tissue. In this review, we further explore and summarize the main findings of recently published GHRKO results in liver, adipocytes, intestine, bone, brain and heart.Entities:
