FIG. 6.
Kinetics of IGF-IR and IGF-IIR mRNA expression in the cornea and in the limbus after corneal injury. The cornea was mechanically damaged and the expression of IGF-IR and IGF-IIR mRNA in the explants of the central cornea (A) or the limbus (B) was determined by real-time PCR. Each bar represents mean±SD from 3 determinations. Values with asterisks represent a statistically significant (*P<0.01, **P<0.001) increase in gene expression.
