We report effects of adding insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and methionyl human growth hormone (GH), alone or in combination, to adult bovine articular chondrocytes plated at high density. Purified human and synthetic IGF-I stimulated chondrocyte DNA and proteoglycan synthesis. GH had no effect
Insulin-like growth factor I1 is believed to play an important role in fetal growth and development. The insulin-like growth factor I1 gene expression is tissue specific and developmentally regulated. We have previously shown an enhanced level of insulin-like growth factor I1 messenger RNA and prote
