Figure Lengend Snippet: The concentration of IGF-2 in the total protein of the homogenized subcutaneous fibrous capsules surrounding the silicon spacer at 6 weeks after pretreatment (GHNF; n = 5, control; n = 6). The concentration of IGF-2 in the GHNF group was significantly higher than that in the control group (* p < 0.05).
Article Snippet: The concentrations of total protein and IGF-2 in the supernatant were measured using a Pierce BCA Protein Assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) and a Quantikine ELISA Mouse/Rat/Porcine/Canine IGF-2 Immunoassay Kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
