Effects of Lys-ß-urogastrone in vivo

Abstract

Lys-ß-urogastrone, an analogue of human {1-urogastrone with an additional N-terminal lysine, was shown to have similar effects in mice and sheep to mouse epidermal growth factor (mEGF). Lys-{1- urogastrone in doses of 0'18-3 ·24 "g g-I body weight caused both precocious separation of eyelids and eruption of incisors in neonatal mice.
