Anti-c-Met positive satellite cells in animals treated with rIGF-1. In urethras injected with rIGF-1, the number of c-Met + satellite cells increased significantly versus PBS-injected or non-operated controls. Four weeks after treatment with rIGF-1, c-Met+ satellite cells increased by 161.8% (41.1 ± 5.4 verse 15.7 ± 1.3, p = 0.012), while the sham operated (PBS) group showed no significant change (20.4 ± 3.9 verse 15.7 ± 1.3, p = 0.316).
