Measurement of Salivary Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in Acromegaly: Comparison with Serum Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and Growth Hormone Concentrations [PDF]
The aim of this study was to establish the concentration of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in saliva of acromegalic patients, and to compare it with the basal levels of serum IGF-I and growth hormone. IGF-I was determined in extracted serum or neat saliva by a disequilibrium RIA using antibodies and iodinated ligand from Amersham and WHO 87/518 ...

Muscle insulin-like growth factor-I modulates murine craniofacial bone growth [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is essential for muscle and bone development and a primary mediator of growth hormone (GH) actions. While studies have elucidated the importance of IGF-I specifically in muscle or bone development, few studies to date

How IGF-II Binds to the Human Type 1 Insulin-like Growth Factor Receptor. [PDF]
Human type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) signals chiefly in response to the binding of insulin-like growth factor I. Relatively little is known about the role of insulin-like growth factor II signaling via IGF-1R, despite the affinity of
