Figure 7

Densitometry analysis of type I and III collagen expression. Quantification of Western blots for type I and III collagen indicated that the ratio of type I to type III collagen was significantly increased in tissues from ambulatory animals treated with IGF-I (* p = 0.0129) and in unloaded tissues from GH+IGF-I treated animals (p = 0.0131), when compared to saline treated ambulatory and hindlimb unloaded tissues. Note: the values for each group were normalized to the Sham group (ratio set to one) to allow comparison of data across multiple Western blot experiments.
