It can be proven by research on key hormones, which has systemic effects, growth hormone, are rather poorly advanced. The purpose this review to present summary critical analysis current state knowledge topic hormone in mink, its biological function, production physiological conditions, regulation secretion transduction hormone’s signal. article contains also an up date information Amrican gene protein product.
