The insulin-like growth factor system (insulin-like growth factor 1, insulin-like growth factor 2, insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor, insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor and six insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins) and insulin are essential

Meta‐analysis of peripheral insulin‐like growth factor 1 levels in schizophrenia
Objective We aimed to investigate if there is a significant difference in peripheral insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) levels between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls and to determine whether a difference exists before and after initiation ...

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 as a Vascular Protective Factor [PDF]
Recent advances in cardiology have focused on proliferation and regeneration as potential cardiovascular defense mechanisms. Within this framework, growth factors are acquiring increasing importance; insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) emerges among them for its versatile pleiotropic actions.

Revisiting the IGF-1R as a breast cancer target
The type I insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor is a well-described target in breast cancer and multiple clinical trials examining insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor have been completed.

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

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

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

The contradictions of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor [PDF]
In recent years, the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) has emerged as a receptor that plays a very important role in the growth of cells, both in vivo and in vitro. The ability of the IGF-IR to induce mitogenesis and to promote survival of cells against a variety of apoptotic agents is well documented.

Regulation of cardiac autophagy by insulin‐like growth factor 1 [PDF]
Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) signaling is a key pathway in the control of cell growth and survival. Three critical nodes in the IGF‐1 signaling pathway have been described in cardiomyocytes: protein kinase Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), Ras/Raf/extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK), and phospholipase C (PLC)/inositol 1,4,5 ...
