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.

The antagonistic pleiotropy of insulin‐like growth factor 1 [PDF]
AbstractWhile insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) is a well‐established modulator of aging and longevity in model organisms, its role in humans has been controversial. In this study, we used the UK Biobank (n = 440,185) to resolve previous ambiguities in the relationship between serum IGF‐1 levels and clinical disease.

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Signaling in Mammalian Hearing [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a peptide hormone belonging to the insulin family of proteins. Almost all of the biological effects of IGF-1 are mediated through binding to its high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptor (IGF1R), a transmembrane receptor belonging to the insulin receptor family.

Regulation of human fibroblast insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding proteins by IGF-1 and cytokines, mechanisms of action and effects upon IGF bioactivity [PDF]
PhDThe insulin-like growth factors, IGF-I and IGF-II, are ubiquitous polypeptide molecules that have mitogenic and metabolic actions in a wide variety of cell types, and consequently play a major role in mammalian growth and development.

Heart Smart Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 [PDF]
See related article, pp 680–693 The prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the associated cardiac pathologies are rising to alarming levels. Conventional medical therapies for the prevention and treatment of cardiomyopathy are less effective in patients with these metabolic disorders, and this is attributed, at ...
