Both free and total specific binding sites for the growth hormone were examined in liver membranes of control and treated fish. The association constants of both free and total specific binding sites were of the same order (1 nM 1 ), and no significant difference was found between any two groups in the capacity of their free binding sites. The capacity of total binding sites in the liver of treated fish increased significantly compared with that of control. Insulin like growth factor I (IGF I) levels in the plasma of treated fish increased by 22.61% (P<0.05), compared with that of control. While the T 4 levels in plasma did not increase significantly (from 1.35±0.91 ng/ml to 2.29±1.13 ng/ml), T 3 levels were elevated significantly (from 1.78±1.14 ng/ml to 4.87±1.22 ng/ml, P<0.01), as compared with that of control.展开更多
