Elastic modulus values at 3 weeks (mean ± S.E.M.). The additional of IGF-I significantly improved elastic modulus levels in tissues from ambulatory healing animals when compared to tissues from ambulatory healing animals which received saline (p = 0.049). A significant increase in elastic modulus was present in tissues from hindlimb unloaded animals after the addition of IGF-I or GH+IGF-I when compared to hindlimb unloaded animals receiving saline (p = 0.049 and p = 0.014, respectively). a significantly different from Sham group; b significantly different from Amb + Sal group; c significantly different from HU + Sal group.
