Abstract excerpt
Growth factors, such as transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and insulin-like growth factors (IGF) I and II, have been shown to exert anabolic effects on bone cells in vitro. Hormones, such as PTH and probably insulin and growth hormone, were recently shown to stimulate bone formation in vivo as well. The aim of the present study was to assess by northern blots, which were quantitated by densitometry, the...
