Project: Quantitative assessment of alternatively spliced IGF-I mRNA transcripts in murine liver and growth plate.

Insulin-like growth factor I plays important roles in the proliferation and maturation of growth plate chondrocytes. The source of IGF-I comes from both the circulating IGF-I produced in the liver and local IGF-I produced in the growth plate chondrocytes. The purpose of my study is to investigate the expression patterns and GH regulations of alternatively spliced IGF-I mRNA transcripts in the liver and within the growth plate during rat postnatal development.
