The growth hormone–insulin-like growth factor-I axis in the diagnosis and treatment of growth disorders

Endocrine Connections, 2018
The growth hormone (GH)–insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I axis is a key endocrine mechanism regulating linear growth in children. While paediatricians have a good knowledge of GH secretion and assessment, understanding and use of measurements of the ...

Glucose-dependent effect of insulin receptor isoforms on tamoxifen antitumor activity in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
IntroductionBreast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, and it is linked to several risk factors including genetic alterations, obesity, estrogen signaling, insulin levels, and glucose metabolism deregulation.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

The Regulatory Role of Apelin on the Appetite and Growth of Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L.)

Animals, 2020
Apelin, a kind of active polypeptide, has many biological functions, such as promoting food intake, enhancing immunity, and regulating energy balance. In mammals, studies have indicated that apelin is involved in regulating food intake.

Neuroprotective effects of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) following a penetrating brain injury in rats

, 2003
The elucidation of the molecular mechanisms involved in the response of brain tissue to trauma and the recognition of substances with neuroprotective properties is a prerequisite for the development of rational therapeutic approaches.

Regulation of insulin-like growth factor-I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 concentrations in preterm fetuses [PDF]

, 2003
OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to evaluate which factors regulate insulin-like growth factor-I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 concentrations in preterm fetuses.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Insulin-like growth factor (IgF)-I, IgF binding protein-3, and prostate cancer: correlation with gleason score

International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2015
Introduction Non-androgenic growth factors are involved in the growth regulation of prostate cancer (PCa). Objective This is the first Brazilian study to correlate, in a population of patients operated for PCa, PSA, total testosterone, insulin-like ...

Bioactive Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in Obesity [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2009
In obesity, total IGF-I is not reduced to the degree predicted by low GH levels, and free IGF-I levels are normal to high. Total and free IGF-I may not reflect IGF-I biological activity because immunoassays cannot account for the modifying effects of IGF binding proteins on interactions between IGF-I and its receptor.The aim of the study was to ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
