The actions of rat plasma somatomedin activity dependent on growth hormone [GH] were investigated in vitro on separated zones of cartilage from the calf costochondral junction. Plasma somatomedin maximally stimulated the uptake of [3H]thymidine into cartilage cells of the proliferating region. Cartilage deeper in the growth plate possessed the highest uptake of [35S]sulfate which was also stimulated by somatomedin. Somatomedin appears to promote both cell replication and matrix synthesis throughout the growth plate cartilage although the 2 processes were greatest in different cartilage regions. GH hormone or triodothyronine did not directly alter the uptake of either isotope into the growth plate cartilage.
