title: Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and regeneration of the sciatic nerve of the rat.
abstract: We have found that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) stimulates regeneration of the rat sciatic nerve. This paper reviews and adds some new data to our investigations on the effects of local administration of IGF-I to the sciatic nerve after infliction of a crush or freeze injury.
