The goals of this study were to examine the role of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on bone formation and to test the hypothesis that the inhibitory effects of glucocorticoids on bone formation are independent of the IGF-I pathway. In serum-free organ cultures of 18-day fetal mouse calvariae derived from Igf1 null mice (Igf1-/-) and their wild-type (Igf1+/+) and heterozygous (Igf1+/-) littermates, we...
