In SH-EP cells, des(1‑3)IGF-I stimulated growth with similar ligand specificity to IGF-II and IGF-I, and greater activity than insulin.
In plain wordsIn cells, des(1‑3)IGF-I supported growth similarly to IGF-II and IGF-I, with greater activity than insulin.

Source sentences
Stimulation of cell growth via this receptor was also indicated by the ligand specificity for IGF analogs and insulin (IGF-II approximately IGF-I approximately des(1-3)IGF-I >> insulin).
In this study, IGF-1 DES (des(1-3)IGF-I) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking IGF-1 DES (des(1-3)IGF-I).
