Consequences of Postnatally Elevated Insulin-Like Growth Factor-II in Transgenic Mice: Endocrine Changes and Effects on Body and Organ Growth. [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) is an important regulator of embryonic growth and differentiation, but its function in postnatal life is unclear. To address this point, we generated transgenic mice harboring fusion genes in which a human IGF-II

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.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)-I and -11 and IGFBinding Proteins-l, -2, and -3 in Children and Adolescents with Diabetes Mellitus: Correlation with Metabolic Control and Height Attainment. [PDF]
The putative effects of diabetes and metabolic control on circulating levels of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) remain controversial.

Risk prognosis correlation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 and insulin-like growth factor-1 in uterine fibroids [PDF]
Background: To explore the relationships between the levels of serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and immune factors, as well as the prognosis of patients with uterine fibroids.
