This study examined the action of GH on secretory activity and apoptosis (A) in porcine ovarian granulosa cells, as well as the role of protein kinase A (PKA), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), tyrosine kinase (TK), protein kinase G (PKG) and cyclin-dependent cdc2/p34 kinase in the mediation of its actions. The effects of exogenous pGH, with or without blockers of PKA (KT5720, Rp-cAMPS), MAPK (PD98059), TK (genistein, lavendustin), PKG (Rp-Br-PET-cGMPS, KT5823) and cdc2...
