Insulin-like growth factor I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 in Crohn's disease [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2001 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 II acts through an endogenous growth pathway regulated by imprinting in early mouse embryos [PDF]
, 1992 We present evidence that insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) mediates growth in early mouse embryos and forms a pathway in which imprinted genes influence development during preimplantation stages, mRNA and protein for IGF-II were expressed in ...
