ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the establishment methods of animal models of adult growth hormone deficiency, and to provide a good model for experimental research and treatment for abnormal bone metabolism caused by growth hor-mone deficiency.Methods The methods of establishment of animal models of adult growth hormone deficiency were re-viewed and evaluated refering to literature.Results There were three methods including spontaneous lack-of, pituitecto-mized and gene knockout can establish animal models of adult growth hormone deficiency.Conclusions Hypophysecto-mized animal models are inexpensive and easy to create, but not suitable for studying the relationship between growth hor-mone and bone metabolism.Spontaneous lack-of and gene knockout models are specific growth hormone deficiency and of great research significance in exploring the relationship between growth hormone and bone metabolism.
