Growth and serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in preterm (PT) and term (T) rabbit pups. A Rabbit pups were weighed daily. The mean weight in the PT group (white bars) was lower than in the T group (grey bars) at all postnatal time points (p < 0.05). Error bars denote 1 SD. B Blood for analysis was retrieved at termination of PT and T pups at each respective postnatal time point, and analyzed according to the description in Material and Methods. Mean levels of serum IGF-1 were lower in the PT group (white bars) than in the T group (grey bars) at all time points (all p < 0.05). Error bars denote 1 SD. Differences in weight and serum IGF-1 between groups were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
