TLDR
Testosterone did maintain ESF excretion on deletion of HGH from the regimen, suggesting at least one common mode of action for these hormones in the hypoanabolic subject, and testosterone failed to maintain the plasma volume increase induced by HGH and did not further effect the observed bone marrow lymphocytosis.

The Somatomedins: A Family of Insulinlike Hormones under Growth Hormone Control

TL;DR: This chapter explains that growth hormone itself exercises no direct metabolic action on skeletal tissue, but rather acts through a second substance, which is detectable both in normal plasma and in plasma from hypophysectomized rats after growth hormone administration, and that the sulfation factor plays a much more pervasive role in somatic growth.

Androgens and erythropoiesis: past and present

TL;DR: The initial animal and human studies which demonstrated the role of androgens in the treatment of anemia, their mechanism of action, a detailed account of the efficacy and side effects, the erythropoietic side effects of androgen therapy and the relationship between hematocrit levels and cardiovascular disease are discussed.

Plasma and red cell iron turnover in normal subjects and in patients having various hematopoietic disorders

TL;DR: This paper concerns the plasma iron and red cell iron turnover data on 75 human subjects who were given amounts of iron which did not alter the steady state systems and it is shown that such turnover rates do agree with the clinical and laboratory data concerning normal red cell life, normal rates of destruction and abnormal rates of formation of red cells.

Erythrocyte volume, plasma volume, and lean body mass in adult men and women.

TL;DR: Erythrocyte volume, plasma volume, hematocrit, lean body mass, skinfold thickness, arm circumference, height, and weight were measured in 40 normal males, 38 normal females, and 12 obese females to derive equations for estimating erythrocytes and plasma volumes.

Rapid effects of growth hormone on amino acid transport and protein synthesis.

TL;DR: Growth hormone in vitro is quite effective in stimulating amino acid incorporation into diaphragm protein when RNA synthesis has been virtually blocked with actinomycin D.P.H.
