Growth Hormone Influences on Palmitate Entry Rate in Fed and Fasted Sheep¹

Departments of Animal Science and Dairy Science, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Wooster 44691

ABSTRACT

Free fatty acids in plasma and entry rates of palmitic acid were measured in fed and fasted sheep injected with ovine growth hormone. Free fatty acids began to increase 2 hours after injection of the ovine growth hormone and reached a maximum at 6 hours post-ovine growth hormone. Entry rates of palmitic acid were higher in fasted sheep (11.2 and 25.2 µM/min/kg body wt^3/4 before and after ovine growth hormone, respectively) than in fed sheep (5.65 and 16.5). Effects of both fasting and ovine growth hormone were highly significant (P < 0.01).
