Deletion of growth hormone receptor gene but not visceral fat removal decreases expression of apoptosis-related genes in the kidney—potential mechanism of lifespan extension

Mice homozygous for the targeted disruption of the growth hormone (GH) receptor (Ghr) gene (GH receptor knockout; GHRKO; KO) are hypoinsulinemic, highly insulin sensitive, normoglycemic, and long-lived.
