Growth Hormone in Human Development

Abstract

MANY investigators have established that changes occur in the structure of enzymes and other proteins during development. For example, Cahn et al. have shown changes in the isoenzymes of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)1, and Körber was the first to recognize that foetal haemoglobin is more resistant to alkali than maternal haemoglobin2.
