Figure 6. Quantitative RT-PCR showing the endogenous expression of IGF-1 and HGF mRNA at two weeks in the different groups.

Figure 6

The IGF-1 and HGF mRNA expression is related to the expression of GAPDH. Fig A and C, show the mean whole heart expression of IGF-1 and HGF in the different groups, while in fig B and D the growth factor expression in each sub-domain is demonstrated. Number of animals is 7–10 per group (see flow chart in Fig 1). In figure; MI: myocardial Infarction; IR: ischemia-reperfusion; IR+GF: ischemia-reperfusion+ growth factors. RV: Right ventricle, LV: Left ventricle, OFT: Outflow tract and INF: Peri-infarction and Ischemia region respectively. Data is presented as mean± SD. *P<0.05 and **P<0.001 vs. Control group. In fig. C and D the mRNA expression of each region is related to the corresponding region of the control group.
