to determine whether growth hormone has a direct effect on skeletal tissues not mediated by somatomedins , and to better define the role of somatomedin-c/insulin-like growth factor i ( sm-c/igf-i ) in skeletal development , bovine growth plate , and rabbit articular and growth plate chondrocytes in primary culture were evaluated under a variety of experimental conditions designed to elicit growth hormone and sm-c/igf-i stimulation .
