Insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein 1 and insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein 3 in pre‐eclampsia

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1996
Objective To investigate circulating levels of insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein 1 (IGFBP‐1) and IGFBP‐3 in the mother and the fetus in pregnancies complicated by pre‐eclampsia, and the relationship between serum levels of IGFBPs and fetal birthweight.Design A prospective study over an 18 month period.Setting A tertiary care ...

Insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 in early human pregnancy

Early Human Development, 1992
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) were measured in amniotic fluid, extraembryonic coelomic fluid and maternal serum from 23 women with apparently normal first trimester pregnancies prior to termination. The levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-1 were significantly higher in coelomic fluid than amniotic

Vertex balding, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2000
A recent report suggested that men with vertex balding have higher levels of plasma insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). The association of its major carrier protein, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), with male pattern hair loss has not been examined.We evaluated the relations of plasma concentrations of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 with ...

Serum Insulin-Like Growth Factor Type 1, Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-1, and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-3 Concentrations in Patients with Thyroid Dysfunction

Thyroid, 2001
Thyroid hormones play a role in the regulation of insulin-like growth factor type 1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) expression, and both IGF-1 and IGFBPs have been shown to be related to the function and growth of the thyroid. Our aim was to evaluate serum concentrations of IGF-1, IGFBP-1, and IGFBP-3 in patients with

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 and ovarian stimulation

Human Reproduction, 1991
Serum concentrations of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) were measured in 42 patients with tubal infertility undergoing two different regimens of ovarian stimulation for in-vitro fertilization. The first group comprised 24 women given a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist analogue (buserelin, LHRHa) on cycle days 1-4 ...

Glucose Metabolism, Insulin-like Growth Factor-I, and Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-1 After Alcohol Withdrawal

Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, 1999
Alcohol abusers often present with deteriorated glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. Changes in other glucoregulators, such as insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I) and IGF‐binding protein‐1 (IGFBP‐1) may also be related to alcohol abuse. We studied the effects of alcohol withdrawal on blood glucose, serum insulin and C‐peptide, and plasma IGF‐I ...

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-related protein 1 and cancer

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2014
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-related protein 1 (IGFBP-rP1) belongs to the IGFBP family whose members have a conserved structural homology. It has a low affinity for IGFs and a high affinity for insulin, suggesting that IGFBP-rP1 may have a biological function distinct from other members of the family.

Serum Levels of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Binding Proteins After Radical Prostatectomy

Journal of Urology, 2002
Elevated serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) have been consistently shown to be a risk factor for prostate cancer. Alterations in serum IGF-1 binding proteins 1 to 3 have also been associated with prostate cancer risk. A potentially important complication in these studies is that prostate tissue, perhaps especially malignant prostate ...

Serum Free and Total Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I, Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-1 and Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3Levels in Healthy Elderly Individuals

Gerontology, 1998
<b>Background:</b> Little is known about the influence of the free insulin-like growth factor-I/insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGF-I/IGFBP) system on the quality of health and on disability in the elderly population. <b>Design:</b> In a cross-sectional population based study of 218 healthy elderly subjects (age 55 ...
