The secretion of growth hormone (GH) is impaired in the genetically obese Zucker rat where GH gene expression and plasma GH levels are depressed; however, the underlying mechanism of this abnormality remains unclear. We have evaluated the potential…
Bone cell-substrate interactions are important to understand in the design, selection, and surface modification of bone implants. To gain insight into such interactions, substrates designed with surface species approximating the physiological…
