Infection with plerocercoids caused increases in body weight and weights of muscle, liver, spleen and heart in the normal male mice, and increases in the head\u2013body length, body weight and weights of muscle, liver, spleen, kidney and heart in the normal female mice, but did not increase the weight of the fat pad. Infection with plerocercoids caused increases in body weights and weights of muscle, liver and spleen in the male dwarf mice, and increases in the head\u2013body length, body weight and weights of muscle, liver, spleen and kidney in the female dwarf mice. These observations suggest that plerocercoids promote the growth of dwarf mice as well as normal mice. As the dwarfism of Snell mice is due to a defective anterior pituitary gland, it seems that plerocercoids do not stimulate secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary. Accordingly, it seems to be more probable that the larvae secrete a growth hormone-like substance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182000082974","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]],"date-time":"2009-06-05T12:32:01Z","timestamp":1244205121000},"page":"447-453","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Effects of <i>Spirometra erinacei<\/i> plerocercoids on the growth of Snell dwarf mice"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"K.","family":"Shiwaku","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Hirai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Torii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Tsuboi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref004","first-page":"527","article-title":"Studies of the plerocercoid growth factor of Spirometra erinacei (Rudolphi, 1819) with special reference to the effect on lipid mobilization in vitro","volume":"27","author":"Hirai","year":"1978","journal-title":"Japanese Journal of Parasitology"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3278670"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-6480(65)90102-4"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3277738"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"242","DOI":"10.1530\/acta.0.0920242","article-title":"Effect of growth hormone and peptide fractions containing somatomedin activity on growth and cartilage metabolism of Snell dwarfmouse","volume":"92","author":"van Bull","year":"1979","journal-title":"Acta Endocrinologica"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/endo-88-4-924"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref016","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3181\/00379727-133-34453"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref005","first-page":"216","article-title":"Parasite-induced weight gain in mice","volume":"133","author":"Mueller","year":"1963","journal-title":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3278184"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref010","first-page":"203","volume-title":"Growth and Growth Factors","author":"Noguchi","year":"1980"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref011","first-page":"183","article-title":"Growth-promoting effect of Spirometra erinacei (Rudolphi, 1819) plerocercoids in young mice","volume":"31","author":"Shiwaku","year":"1982","journal-title":"Japanese Journal of Parasitology"},{"key":"S0031182000082974_ref012","first-page":"353","article-title":"Growth-promoting effect of Spirometra erinacei (Rudolphi, 1819) plerocercoids in mature mice.
