Fig. 7From: Impairment of maturation of BMP-6 (35 kDa) correlates with delayed fracture healing in experimental diabetesThe impact of fracture and diabetes on BMP-6 and BMP-9. BMP-6 (35 kDa) was significantly upregulated in fractured femurs of both the normal and diabetic animals. Significantly lower level of BMP-6 (35 kDa) was observed in the fractured and intact femurs of the diabetic animals. No significant change in BMP-9 was detected among the fractured, intact, diabetic and non-diabetic animalsBack to article page
