Effect of endogenous insulin-like growth factor and stem cell factor on diabetic colonic dysmotility

Figure 2 Stem cell factor and insulin-like growth factor-1 expression in streptozotocin-D rat distal colon. A: Stem cell factor (SCF) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) protein levels in streptozotocin (STZ)-D rat distal colon (n = 8). Images are representative of at least 4 independent Western blotting, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as a loading control; B: SCF and IGF-1 mRNA levels in colonic tissue of control rats and STZ-D rats (n = 8). ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs the control group.
