Figure 5. Tendon insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and collagen (COL) mRNA expression during 2 weeks of immobilisation in young males (n= 20) with either recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) (n= 10) or placebo (n= 10).

Figure 5

A, IGF-1Ea mRNA (tendon); time effect (P < 0.05) and group interaction (P < 0.05). B, COL1A1 mRNA (tendon); time effect (P= 0.07) and group interaction (P < 0.05). C, COL3A1 (tendon); time effect (P= 0.1) and group interaction, (P < 0.05). *Time effect, P < 0.05, compared with baseline (GH). $Group effect, P < 0.05, GH vs. Plc within time point. Data are geometric means ± SEM.
