Prognostic significance of growth hormone in pediatric liver transplantation
Growth hormone (GH) plays a leading role in the regulation of cell and tissue metabolism and growth. Its effects are mediated through the so-called somatomedins, among which the most important is the liver-produced insulinlike growth factor 1 (IGF-1). It

Insulin-like Growth Factors in a clinical setting: Review of IGF-I
Background and Aims: Interest in growth hormone (GH) is inextricably linked to the need for in depth understanding of the somatomedins (insulin-like growth factors) which are polypeptides structurally similar to insulin and with broad physiological ...

Identification and characterization of insulin-like growth factor receptors on adult rat cardiac myocytes: linkage to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation. [PDF]
Cultured cardiac myocytes from adult Sprague-Dawley rats express both insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptors and insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose 6-phosphate (IGF-II/Man6P) receptors and respond to IGF-I with a dose-dependent accumulation of
