Transcriptional regulation of the IGF signaling pathway by amino acids and insulin-like growth factors during myogenesis in Atlantic salmon. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
The insulin-like growth factor signalling pathway is an important regulator of skeletal muscle growth. We examined the mRNA expression of components of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signalling pathway as well as Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2 ...

Immunohistochemical analysis of insulin‐like growth factor I, insulin‐like growth factor I receptor and insulin‐like growth factor II in endometriotic tissue and endometrium

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1997
Background. The purpose of this study was to investigate unprecedentedly immunohistochemical localization of insulin‐like growth factor I, insulin‐like growth factor I receptor and insulin‐like growth factor II in endometriotic tissue, and to compare ...

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II- mediated fibrosis in pathogenic lung conditions.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Type 2 insulin-like growth factor (IGF-II) levels are increased in fibrosing lung diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and scleroderma/systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary fibrosis (SSc). Our goal was to investigate the contribution of

Insulin-like growth factor-II and bioactive proteins containing a part of the E-domain of pro-insulin-like growth factor-II. [PDF]

Biofactors, 2020
AbstractInsulin‐like growth factor (IGF)‐II is considered to function as an important fetal growth factor, which is structurally and functionally related to IGF‐I and proinsulin. At least in vitro, IGF‐II actions are mediated through the IGF‐I receptor and to a lesser extent the insulin receptor.

Associations of insulin and insulin-like growth factors with physical performance in old age in the boyd orr and caerphilly studies. [PDF]

, 2012
OBJECTIVE: Insulin and the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system regulate growth and are involved in determining muscle mass, strength and body composition.

Expression of insulin-like growth factor II and receptors for insulin-like growth factor II, insulin-like growth factor I and insulin in isolated and cultured rat hepatocytes [PDF]

Hepatology, 1991
Insulin-like growth factor II is believed to play an important role in fetal growth and development. The insulin-like growth factor II gene expression is tissue specific and developmentally regulated. We have previously shown an enhanced level of insulin-like growth factor II messenger RNA and protein in human hepatocellular ...

Malignant fibroma presenting as a hypoglycemia and coma in a 45‐year‐old male patient: A case report

Clinical Case Reports, 2022
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are a rare group of spindle cell neoplasm of submesothelial origin with malignant potential and can present as hypoglycemia secondary to excess secretion of insulin‐like growth factor II (IGF‐II) from the tumor.

The receptor for insulin‐like growth factor II mediates an insulin‐like response. [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 1987
Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) shares sequence homology and predicted three-dimensional structure with insulin and IGF-I. IGF-II can bind, therefore, to a limited extent with the receptors for these two other hormones, as well as to a distinct receptor for IGF-II.

Understanding the mechanism of insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor activation by IGF-II. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) promotes cell proliferation and survival and plays an important role in normal fetal development and placental function.

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]

, 2011
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).
