Figure 6. Tendon lysyl oxidase (LOX), matrix metalloprotease-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloprotease-9, decorin and tenascin-C 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 6

A, LOX mRNA (tendon); time effect (P= 0.5) and group interaction (P < 0.05). B, MMP-2 mRNA (tendon); time effect (P < 0.05) and group interaction (P= 0.2). C, MMP-9 mRNA (tendon); time effect (P= 0.9) and group interaction (P= 0.7). D, decorin (tendon); time effect (P= 0.5) and group interaction (P= 0.8). E, tenascin-C (tendon); time effect (P= 0.7) and group interaction (P= 0.6). *Time effect, P < 0.05, compared with baseline. $Group effect, P < 0.05, GH vs. Plc. within time point. Data are geometric means ± SEM.
