Fig. 4From: Linear growth failure induced by systemic inflammation inhibiting IGF-1/IGFBP axis in rats with asymptomatic colitisComparison of the plasma hormone concentrations among the three groups at d3 and d5. The values are expressed as the means (SD), n = 8/group. a Plasma GH. b Plasma IGF-1. c Plasma IGFBP3. d Plasma IGFBP2. Skewed data of plasma GH are compared after log transformations among three groups by ANOVA. *P < 0.05 vs control group; # P < 0.05 vs colitis group; §P < 0.05 vs d3Back to article page
