IGF-I and IGF-II in relation to colorectal cancer
Recent data suggest that the IGF system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several forms of human cancer, and there is evidence that IGFs acting in an autocrine and paracrine manner may also affect colorectal cancer risk. We have conducted a case-control study on the island of Crete, Greece, to examine the potential relation between ...

Synergistic and antagonistic effects of TNF-[alpha] and IGF-I in heart failure : "in vitro" and "in vivo" study of cardiac and skeletal muscle [PDF]
Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. All forms of myocardial injury first lead to compensatory hypertrophy, which eventually progresses to heart failure.

Expression of the insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose-6-phosphate receptor in multiple human tissues during fetal life and early infancy [PDF]
The insulin like growth factor-II/mannose-6-phosphate (IGF-II/M6P) receptor has been detected in many cells and tissues. In the rat, there is a dramatic developmental regulation of IGF-II/M6P receptor expression, the receptor being high in fetal and ...
