Autocrine IGF-1 Action in Adipocytes Controls Systemic IGF-1 Concentrations and Growth [PDF]
OBJECTIVE—IGF-1 and the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) have been implicated in the regulation of adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation in vitro. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—To investigate the role of IGF-1 receptor in vivo, we have inactivated the Igf-1r gene in adipose tissue (IGF-1RaP2Cre mice) using conditional gene targeting ...

Pasireotide Long-Acting Release Treatment for Diabetic Cats with Underlying Hypersomatotropism [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Long‐term medical management of hypersomatotropism (HS) in cats has proved unrewarding. Pasireotide, a novel somatostatin analogue, decreases serum insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) and improves insulin sensitivity in cats with HS when ...

Pasireotide for the Medical Management of Feline Hypersomatotropism [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Feline hypersomatotropism (HST) is a cause of diabetes mellitus in cats. Pasireotide is a novel multireceptor ligand somatostatin analog that improves biochemical control of humans with HST.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Neuroinflammation
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) effects on aging and neurodegeneration is still controversial. However, it is widely admitted that IGF-1 is involved in the neuroinflammatory response.

Intra-articular Injection of HB-IGF-1 Sustains Delivery of IGF-1 to Cartilage through Binding to Chondroitin Sulfate [PDF]
Objective: Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) stimulates cartilage repair but is not a practical therapy due to its short half-life. We have previously modified IGF-1 by adding a heparin-binding domain and have shown that this fusion protein (HB-IGF-1)

Paraoxonase 2 overexpression inhibits tumor development in a mouse model of ovarian cancer. [PDF]
Ovarian cancer (OC) is most lethal malignancy among all gynecological cancer. Large bodies of evidences suggest that mitochondrial-derived ROS play a critical role in the development and progression of OC.

Low Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Level in Obesity Nephropathy: A New Risk Factor? [PDF]
INTRODUCTION:IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1) is a hormone involved in cell growth and other important processes. In the kidney, IGF-1 has a stimulating effect, increasing the blood flow and glomerular filtration rate.

IGF-1 facilitates extinction of conditioned fear [PDF]
SUMMARYInsulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) plays a key role in synaptic plasticity, degenerative diseases, spatial learning, and anxiety-like behavioral processes. While IGF-1 regulates neuronal activity in many areas of the brain, its effect on synaptic plasticity and animal behavior dependent on the prefrontal cortex remain unexplored. Here, we show
