As the administration of growth hormone (GH) to hypophysectomized rats stimulates growth and the synthesis of DNA, protein and RNA of many tissues, including liver (di Stephano & Diermeier, 1959; Korner, 1961; Munro & Korner, 1964), the response of RR activity to GH administration was investigated.
