Figure Lengend Snippet: IGF1 system gene expression in the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland and the liver of Pappa2 ko/ko and Pappa2 wt/wt mice (males and females) in adulthood. Hypothalamus: relative Pappa2 ( A ), Ghrh ( B ), Ghih-Sst ( C ), Igf1 ( D ), Igf1r ( E ), Igfbp3 ( F ), Igfbp5 ( G ), Igfals ( H ) and Stc1 ( I ) mRNA levels. Pituitary gland: relative Pappa2 ( J ), Gh ( K ), Ghrhr ( L ), Igf1 ( M ), Igf1r ( N ), Igfbp3 ( O ), Igfbp5 ( P ), Igfals ( Q ) and Stc1 ( R ) mRNA levels. Liver: relative Ghr ( S ), Igf1 ( T ), Igf1r ( U ), Igf2 ( V ), Igfbp3 ( W ), Igfbp5 ( X ), Igfals ( Y ) and Stc1 ( Z ) mRNA levels. Data are represented as mean ± S.E.M ( n = 8–10 per experimental group). See Table for additional information. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey-corrected tests: * / *** p < 0.05/0.001 versus respective wt/wt males and females; ##/### p < 0.01/0.001 versus respective wt/wt and ko/ko males
Article Snippet: Recombinant human GH protein (rhGH; cat no: ABIN803848; antibodies-online GmbH, Aachen, Germany), recombinant human IGF1 protein (rhIGF1; cat. no: 100 − 11; PeproTech, Inc., Rocky Hill, NJ, USA), and recombinant human PAPP-A2 protein (rhPAPP-A2; cat. no: abx068418; Abbexa LTD, Cambridge; UK) were dissolved in sterile saline (0.9% NaCl).
