Decrease of IGF-1 gene expression and serum levels in p/CIP(−/−)
mice. (A) RNase protection analysis on liver mRNAs by
using specific probes; loading of RNA were normalized based on
beta-actin levels. From 100–200% decreases of IGF-1 transcript were
observed in age- and sex-matched, p25 mice. (B) IGF-1
serum levels in wild-type, heterozygous, and p/CIP(−/−) mice.
**, P < 0.01. (C and
D) Growth rates and serum IGF-1 levels in wild-type,
heterozygous, and p/CIP(−/−) mice.
