Changes in Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Level in Patients with Sepsis and Septic Shock [PDF]

Korean Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2016
Background Despite many ongoing, prospective studies on the topic, sepsis still remains one of the main causes of death in hospital. The hormone insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has a similar molecular structure to that of insulin.

IGF-Binding Proteins: Why Do They Exist and Why Are There So Many?

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are key growth-promoting peptides that act as both endocrine hormones and autocrine/paracrine growth factors. In the bloodstream and in local tissues, most IGF molecules are bound by one of the members of the IGF ...

Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor mediates photoreceptor neuroprotection

Cell Death and Disease, 2022
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) is a neurotrophic factor and is the ligand for insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R). Reduced expression of IGF-1 has been reported to cause deafness, mental retardation, postnatal growth failure, and ...

The Fascinating Interplay between Growth Hormone, Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1, and Insulin [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism
This review intends to provide the reader with a practical overview of several (patho)physiological conditions in which knowledge of the interplay between growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and insulin is important.

Elevated serum insulin‐like growth factor 1 in recurrent aphthous stomatitis

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, 2019
Over 100 million Americans experience recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) at some point in life. To develop targeted drugs for RAS treatment, it is critical to identify its etiology. We determined if serum insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) and related
