IGF-1 Regulates the extracellular level of active MMP-2 and promotes Müller glial cell motility [PDF]
In ischemic proliferative retinopathies, Müller glial cells (MGCs) acquire migratory abilities. However, the mechanisms that regulate this migration remain poorly understood.

Defects in mitophagy promote redox‐driven metabolic syndrome in the absence of TP53INP1
The metabolic syndrome covers metabolic abnormalities including obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D is characterized by insulin resistance resulting from both environmental and genetic factors.

IGF-1 receptor cleavage in hypertension [PDF]
Increased protease activity causes receptor dysfunction due to extracellular cleavage of different membrane receptors in hypertension. The vasodilatory effects of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are decreased in hypertension. Therefore, in the present study the association of an enhanced protease activity and IGF-1 receptor cleavage was ...

The relationship between the insulin-like growth factor-1 axis, weight loss, an inflammation-based score and survival in patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer [PDF]
<b>Background & aims:</b> The involvement of a systemic inflammatory response, as evidenced by the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), is associated with weight loss and poor outcome in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Studies on Insulin/IGF‐1 Hybrid and IGF‐1 Growth‐Promoting Functional Region [PDF]
AbstractSingle‐chain insulin/IGF‐1 hybrid‐[Ins/IGF‐1(C)], single‐chain porcine insulin precursor‐(PIP), and B10Asp PIP were prepared by protein engineering. Their growth‐promoting activities in mouse breast cancer cell line GR2H6 are 10, 0.2, and 2 times that of insulin, respectively, and 29%, 0.6%, and 6% of that of IGF‐1, indicating that the C domain

Doxorubicin impairs the insulin-like growth factor-1 system and causes insulin-like growth factor-1 resistance in cardiomyocytes. [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) promotes the survival of cardiomyocytes by activating type 1 IGF receptor (IGF-1R). Within the myocardium, IGF-1 action is modulated by IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), which sequesters IGF-1 away from IGF-1R.
