Figure 2

Immunohistochemistry results of PAPP-A2, IGFBP-5, IGF1R, and IGF1 in rat hip joints during different growth stage. P21 (), B7 (), and B14 () represent day 1 before birth, day 7, and day 14 after birth, respectively. (a) (1, 2, and 3 original magnifications ×400; ①, ②, and ③ original magnification ×40). The black arrow indicates positive cells. A: acetabulum; F: femoral head. (b) PAPP-A2, IGFBP-5, IGF1R, and IGF1 in normal hip joints with time varying.
