Effects of insulin and insulin‐like growth factors I and II on the growth of equine fetal and neonatal chondrocytes

1 Nov 1997

Abstract excerpt

The effects of insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II on fetal and foal chondrocytes were investigated in vitro. Chondrocytes from the lateral trochlear ridge of the distal femur were obtained from 2 fetuses (280 and 320 days gestation) and one 4-day-old foal and cultured.
