Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and induction of newly woven bone growth were studied in rats. PDGF (20 ng/mL) was administered continuously for 2 weeks via micro-osmotic pumps to 6-mm-long pieces of demineralized rat femur inserted into muscle pouches. Each rat had a control piece of demineralized bone inserted into the contralateral gluteal muscle. The samples were collected after 4 weeks, and wet and ash weight were recorded. Fourteen rats were evaluated. There were no differences as regards wet weights. PDGF increased the ash weights.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010982 Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Mitogenic peptide growth hormone carried in the alpha-granules of platelets. It is released when platelets adhere to traumatized tissues. Connective tissue cells near the traumatized region respond by initiating the process of replication. Platelet Derived Growth Factor,Factor, Platelet-Derived Growth,Growth Factor, Platelet-Derived
