Insulin-like growth factor 1 and hair growth

Dermatology Online Journal, 1999
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been identified as an important growth factor in many biological systems.[1] It shares considerable structural homology with insulin and exerts insulin-like effects on food intake and glucose metabolism. Recently it has been suggested to play a role in regulating cellular proliferation and migration during the ...

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 ...

Associations of insulin and insulin-like growth factors with physical performance in old age in the boyd orr and caerphilly studies. [PDF]

, 2012
OBJECTIVE: Insulin and the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system regulate growth and are involved in determining muscle mass, strength and body composition.

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 ...

Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins initiate cell death and extracellular matrix remodeling in the mammary gland [PDF]

, 2005
We have demonstrated that insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) production by mammary epithelial cells increases dramatically during forced involution of the mammary gland in rats, mice and pigs.

Identification and characterization of insulin-like growth factor receptors on adult rat cardiac myocytes: linkage to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation. [PDF]

, 1992
Cultured cardiac myocytes from adult Sprague-Dawley rats express both insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptors and insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose 6-phosphate (IGF-II/Man6P) receptors and respond to IGF-I with a dose-dependent accumulation of

The signaling landscape of insulin-like growth factor 1. [PDF]

J Biol Chem
The sheer amplitude of biological actions of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) affecting all types of cells in all tissues suggests a vast signaling landscape for this ubiquitous humoral signal. While the canonical signaling pathways primarily involve the Ras/MAPK and PI3K/AKT cascades, the evolutionary conservation of insulin-like peptides (ILPs ...

Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)-I and -11 and IGFBinding Proteins-l, -2, and -3 in Children and Adolescents with Diabetes Mellitus: Correlation with Metabolic Control and Height Attainment. [PDF]

, 1995
The putative effects of diabetes and metabolic control on circulating levels of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) remain controversial.
