Abstract

Cartilage slices from normal rats, incubated at pH 4 for 3 to 7 hours, on a gelatin‐membrane substrate, digested the membrane, whereas cartilage from rats hypophysectomized for 21 days or more did not. Injection of 15 or 45 μg of bovine growth hormone into hypophysectomized rats restored the lytic activity of the cartilage. It is concluded that an acid proteinase is present in cartilage of normal rats, that is lost after hypophysectomy, and that the enzyme is restored by injection of growth hormone.

## Insulin -like growth factor-I (IGF-I) has trophic and plastic effects on neurons and glial cells and modulates neuroendocrine events by acting at the level of the hypothalamus. IGF-I and estrogen signaling interact to regulate in vitro hypothalamic neuronal survival and differentiation. In vivo
