Example Sentences

Since a purified form of hCGH was first isolated from human pituitary in 1956 (Li and Papkoff, Science, 124, 1293 (1956)), there have been made a large number of works on hGH to elucidate, e.g., the effect of hCGH on human metabo lism (Beck, J. C. et al., Science, 125, 884(1957)) and inhibitory activity of hCGH on pituitary nanocormia (Raben, M. S., J. Clin. Endocrinol., 18,901(1958)).
