Abstract
Human growth hormone administration to the rat for 3 or 10 days increa sed the concentrations of glutamine in both skeletal muscle and plasma and the rate of glutamine release was increased from muscle isolated from rats treated with growth hormone for 3 days. Growth hormone may t herefore play an important role in the control of glutamine metabolism in muscle.
