## Abstract The effect of local production of human growth hormone on murine cortical bone was investigated using a transgenic mouse model. Femora and humeri from human growth hormone transgenic mice and littermate control mice were obtained, and the geometrical, biomechanical, compositional, and h
Introduction of the human growth hormone fiGH) gene fused with mouse metallothionein I promoter into domestic mice leads to ectopic synthesis of hGH, marked stimulation of somatic growth, and female sterility. Transgenic females (produced by mating transgenic males to normal females) mated but faile
