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.

Insulin-like growth factor-1/insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor signalling in macrophages facilitates recovery from acute lung injury [PDF]
Background No effective treatment strategy for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been established. Conflicting reports on the effects of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 stimulation and the inhibition of IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) signalling ...

Interoceptive Information of Physical Vigor Through Circulating Insulin‐Like Growth Factor 1 [PDF]
The brain relies on interoceptive feedback signals to regulate bodily functions. Female mice with low serum IGF‐1 levels (LID mice) exhibit reduced spontaneous running compared to control females, an effect not seen in males.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) empowering tendon regenerative therapies [PDF]
Tendon injury is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders that severely affect patients’ daily lives. Unfortunately, naturally healed tendons exhibit poor quality, as they have very limited regenerative ability.
