Insulin-Like Growth Factors, Binding Proteins and Their Role in Pregnancy in Patients With Diabetes [PDF]
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis, an evolutionarily conserved system, is critical in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and survival, affecting nearly all organ systems.

Insulin-like growth factor-II and bioactive proteins containing a part of the E-domain of pro-insulin-like growth factor-II. [PDF]
AbstractInsulin‐like growth factor (IGF)‐II is considered to function as an important fetal growth factor, which is structurally and functionally related to IGF‐I and proinsulin. At least in vitro, IGF‐II actions are mediated through the IGF‐I receptor and to a lesser extent the insulin receptor.

Circulating Insulin-Like Growth Factor II and Colorectal Adenomas* [PDF]
Abstract Circulating insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) may be risk factors for the development of colorectal cancer. On the other hand, IGF-II and IGFBP-2 are overexpressed in colorectal carcinomas.

Malignant fibroma presenting as a hypoglycemia and coma in a 45‐year‐old male patient: A case report
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are a rare group of spindle cell neoplasm of submesothelial origin with malignant potential and can present as hypoglycemia secondary to excess secretion of insulin‐like growth factor II (IGF‐II) from the tumor.
