Fig. 2

Line plots illustrating individual changes in IGF system protein levels from day 0 to day 7 after treatment with prednisolone or infliximab. The individual changes in total IGF-I, IGF-II, bioactive IGF, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-4, NT-IGFBP-4, CT-IGFBP-4, PAPP-A, and STC2 before and after 7 days of prednisolone or infliximab. Solid lines illustrate patients, in which protein levels were increased following therapy, whereas dashed lines show patients that had lowered protein levels. Red diamonds illustrate mean or median protein level before and after treatment. CT, C-terminal; IGF, insulin-like growth factor; IGFBP, IGF binding protein; NS, not significant; NT, N-terminal; PAPP-A, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A; STC2, Stanniocalcin-2
