Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a neurotrophic factor and plays an important role in promoting axonal growth from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. The neuropeptide- and neurofilament (NF)-immunoreactive (IR) neurons are two major phenotypical classes in DRG. Whether IGF-1 affects neurochemical phenotypes of DRG neurons remains unknown. In the present study, primary cultured DRG neurons were used to...
