From: IGF-1 Expression in Infarcted Myocardium and MGF E Peptide Actions in Rat Cardiomyocytes in Vitro
Serum IGF-1 levels measured in sham-operated and infarcted rats using enzymelinked immunosorbent assay as described in the “Material and Methods” section. Concentrations of IGF-1 were expressed as mean ± SEM of six measurements.*P< 0.05. Note that IGF-1 serum levels were decreased early (1 h to 1 wk) during the experimental procedure; however, these levels were not different during the late phase (4 wks and 8 wks) of the experimental procedure compared with measurements in sham-operated rats.
