Patient population stratification: which patients will benefit most (frail older, endocrine decline, metabolic syndrome)
FITC-agonist was added for 30 min at 37 C to induce internalization, then removed and washed with cold HBSS to arrest further endocytosis, and cells treated with 500 mM ice-cold sodium 2-sulfanylethanesulfonate (MesNa), a membrane-impermeable reducing agent, in alkaline TNE buffer (100 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.6) to cleave BG-SS-biotin specifically from cell surface receptors
The primary treatment consists in regular injections of growth hormone, but because of needle pain and the considerable expense, researchers began to look for other ways to boost the levels of growth hormone in these children
