Source sentences
By the means of semiquantitative evaluation of the products of two Igf-1 splice isoforms--locally active (Mgf) and circulating (Igf- 1v4)--it has been shown that the amount of mRNA of both isoforms in hepatocellular carcinoma was lower, and in tissue surrounding the tumor higher, than in the samples…
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
The expression of the Igf-1 gene in mice liver at different stages of development of hepatocellular carcinoma induced by diethylnitrozamine--from the initial diffuse tissue dysplasia and nodular hyperplasia to the development of multiple adenomas and carcinoma--has been analyzed.
This result measures the body's own MGF / PEG-MGF. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
