Abstract
The determination of sexually dimorphic hepatic steroid metabolism in rat liver has been shown to involve growth hormone. However, the mechanisms by which growth hormone controls the cytochrome P450 enzymes responsible for this dimorphic steroid metabolism is largely unknown. In this review we discuss different levels of growth hormone signal transduction, including receptor binding, signal transduction and activation of target genes by growth hormone.
