Insulin like growth factor – insulin like growth factor binding protein family in osteoporosis: mechanistic and clinical insights [PDF]

Annals of Medicine
Introduction The imbalance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts is central to osteoporosis.Insulin like growth factor (IGF) has protective effects on bone. As an IGF-binding protein, the role of IGFBP in bone has also begun to come into the public’s view.

Role of insulin-like growth factor, insulin-like growth factor receptors, and insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins in ovarian cancer

Indian Journal of Medical and Paediatric Oncology, 2017
Insulin and IGFs play an important role in cancer initiation and progression, including ovarian cancer (OC). Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most frequent type of OC in women and it is the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide. Generally,

Insulin-like growth factor-1/insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor signalling in macrophages facilitates recovery from acute lung injury [PDF]

Annals of Medicine
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 ...

The effect of ulipristal acetate on tumor necrosis factor α, insulin-like growth factor 1, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 serum levels in patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids

Archives of Medical Science, 2020
Introduction Uterine fibroids (UFs) are benign tumors of the female reproductive system originating from the smooth muscle of the uterus. Currently, progesterone is known to play a key role in the differentiation of the myometrial tissue to form UFs and ...

Insulin-like growth factor type 2 is a better survival marker than insulin-like growth factor type 1 in patients after acute decompensated heart failure

Archives of Medical Science, 2023
Introduction A decreased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) level has been found in heart failure (HF). There are no reports assessing IGF-2 in HF, although in vitro research has shown that IGF-2 stimulates cardiomyocyte proliferation more than IGF-1 ...

Molecular evolution and functional characterization of Drosophila insulin-like peptides [PDF]

, 2010
Multicellular animals match costly activities, such as growth and reproduction, to the environment through nutrient-sensing pathways. The insulin/IGF signaling (IIS) pathway plays key roles in growth, metabolism, stress resistance, reproduction, and ...

Correlation of Insulin Like Growth Factor-1 and Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein with LH, FSH and Testosterone in Iraqi Children with Growth Hormone Deficiency

Iraqi Journal of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, 2023
Insulin like growth factor-1 has metabolic and growth-related roles all over the body and is strongly associated and regulated by growth hormone. It is produced by almost any type of tissue, especially the liver.

Insulin-like growth factors: Ligands, binding proteins, and receptors

Molecular Metabolism, 2021
Background: The insulin-like growth factor family of ligands (IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin), receptors (IGF-IR, M6P/IGF-IIR, and insulin receptor [IR]), and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP-1-6) play critical roles in normal human physiology and disease states.

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]

, 1995
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.
