Indian Journal of Medical and Paediatric Oncology, 2017 Insulin and IGFs play an important role in cancer initiation and progression, including ovarian cancer (OC). Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most frequent type of OC in women and it is the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide. Generally,

Insulin-like growth factor 1 stimulates the angiogenic activity of adipose tissue–derived microvascular fragments [PDF]
Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2019 Angiogenesis in adipose tissue is promoted by insulin-like growth factor 1 signaling. We analyzed whether this regulatory mechanism also improves the angiogenic activity of adipose tissue–derived microvascular fragments.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Neuroinflammation
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017 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.

Gene expression patterns of insulin-like growth factor 1, insulin-like growth factor 2 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 in human placenta from pregnancies with intrauterine growth restriction [PDF]
, 2011 Introduction: In this study, we compared insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-gene expression patterns and characteristics of glucose and insulin metabolism in human placenta from pregnancies with or without intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).

Cellular actions of the insulin-like growth factor binding proteins.
Endocrine reviews, 2002 In addition to their roles in IGF transport, the six IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) regulate cell activity in various ways. By sequestering IGFs away from the type I IGF receptor, they may inhibit mitogenesis, differentiation, survival, and other IGF ...

Insulin-like growth factor 1 prevents neuronal cell death and paraplegia in the rabbit model of spinal cord ischemia [PDF]
, 2001 Objective: Insulin-like growth factor 1 has been shown to be cytoprotective against ischemia-reperfusion injury in various organs. However, spinal cord protection by insulin-like growth factor 1 has not been tested.

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 ...
