Objective. Micromegaly describes a subgroup of patients with clinically evident acromegaly and elevated insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) with apparently normal basal growth hormone (bGH) and often a glucose-suppressed growth hormone (GH) of

Insulin-like growth factor I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 in Crohn's disease [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and its binding protein IGF binding protein 5 (IGFBP-5) were highly expressed in inflamed and fibrotic intestine in experimental Crohn's disease. IGF-I induced proliferation and increased collagen synthesis by smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts/myofibroblasts in vitro.

Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) mediates the majority of the growth-promoting effects of growth hormone (GH) after birth.1 In the prenatal period, GH does not appear to have a major influence on fetal growth, whereas IGF-I does.

Genomewide meta-analysis identifies loci associated with IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels with impact on age-related traits [PDF]
The growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis can be manipulated in animal models to promote longevity, and IGF-related proteins including IGF-I and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) have also been implicated in risk of human diseases including ...

High levels of extracellular K+ ensure proper development and prolong survival of cerebellar granule neurons in culture. We find that when switched from a culture medium containing high K+ (25 mM) to one containing a low but more physiological K ...

Circulating Insulin-Like Growth Factor I Mediates Effects of Exercise on the Brain
Physical exercise increases brain activity through mechanisms not yet known. We now report that in rats, running induces uptake of blood insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) by specific groups of neurons throughout the brain.

IGF-I receptor phosphorylation is impaired in cathepsin X-deficient prostate cancer cells [PDF]
The cysteine-type peptidase cathepsin X is highly upregulated in several cancers and presumably promotes tumor invasion through bypassing cellular senescence. Here, we present first evidence that the underlying mechanism may involve the regulation of the

The Regulatory Role of Apelin on the Appetite and Growth of Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L.)
Apelin, a kind of active polypeptide, has many biological functions, such as promoting food intake, enhancing immunity, and regulating energy balance. In mammals, studies have indicated that apelin is involved in regulating food intake.

Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor signaling and resistance to trastuzumab (Herceptin).
BACKGROUND Trastuzumab (Herceptin), an anti-HER2/neu receptor monoclonal antibody that inhibits growth of ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer, is used to treat such cancers. Development of resistance to trastuzumab, however, is common.
