Gene expression patterns of insulin-like growth factor 1, insulin-like growth factor 2 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 in human placenta from pregnancies with intrauterine growth restriction [PDF]
Introduction: In this study, we compared insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-gene expression patterns and characteristics of glucose and insulin metabolism in human placenta from pregnancies with or without intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).

Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 Generation: An Index of Growth Hormone Insensitivity [PDF]
GH insensitivity may be an inherited condition or may arise as a consequence of disease of malnutrition. Laron syndrome is the most severe form of GH insensitivity, arising from an absent or defective GH receptor. Less severe forms of GH insensitivity, however, may exist, resulting in short stature but in few other features of Laron syndrome.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and Epidermal Growth Factor Regulate Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in the Human Keratinocyte Cell Line HaCaT [PDF]
The human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT has a basal phenotype and secretes an insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein, IGFBP-3, which modulates its IGF-I response.

Biomarkers of systemic inflammation and growth in early infancy are associated with stunting in young Tanzanian children [PDF]
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 ...

IGF-I and IGFBP-3 serum levels in patients hospitalized for complications of liver cirrhosis
Background. IGF-I and IGFBP-3 are part of IGF system and, due to their predominantly hepatic synthesis, they seem to correlate with hepatic dysfunction intensity. Aims.

Estradiol, Progesterone, and Transforming Growth Factor α Regulate Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 (IGFBP3) Expression in Mouse Endometrial Cells [PDF]
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.

Variation in Plasma Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3: Genetic Factors [PDF]
Abstract Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play key roles in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Whereas relatively stable within individuals, IGFs vary substantially between individuals, and a large component of this variation may be determined by genetic factors.

Role of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 in glucose and lipid metabolism [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3 has roles in modulating the effect of IGFs by binding to IGFs and inhibiting cell proliferation in an IGF-independent manner.
