Effects of hypophysectomy and homologous tGH, tPRL177, and tPRL188 replacement at different doses on the in vitro uptake of [35S]sulfate by ceratobranchial cartilage explants. Sham-operated and Hx controls were injected with vehicle only. ∗, P < 0.05, ∗∗, P < 0.01, and ∗∗∗, P < 0.001 compared with Hx controls (FPLSD). Values represent the mean ± SEM and are expressed as decays per minute (DPM) per mg of dry weight of cartilage. Numbers in parentheses denote sample size.
