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 ...

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 ...

Biomarkers of systemic inflammation and growth in early infancy are associated with stunting in young Tanzanian children [PDF]
, 2018 Stunting can afflict up to one-third of children in resource-constrained countries. We hypothesized that low-grade systemic inflammation (defined as elevations in serum C-reactive protein or alpha-1-acid glycoprotein) in infancy suppresses the growth ...

Meta‐analysis of peripheral insulin‐like growth factor 1 levels in schizophrenia
Brain and Behavior, 2023 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 ...

Estradiol, Progesterone, and Transforming Growth Factor α Regulate Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 (IGFBP3) Expression in Mouse Endometrial Cells [PDF]
, 2009 Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) Is Involved in the proliferation of mouse and rat endometrial cells in a paracrine or autocrine manner. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP3) modulates actions of IGFs directly or indirectly.
