Insulin-Like Growth Factors, Binding Proteins and Their Role in Pregnancy in Patients With Diabetes. [PDF]

J Diabetes Res
The insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) axis, an evolutionarily conserved system, is critical in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and survival, affecting nearly all organ systems. This axis comprises two growth factors, IGF‐I and IGF‐II, and six insulin‐like growth factor–binding proteins (IGFBPs), modulating IGF activity.

Delayed Bone Maturation and Extended Growth Phase as Distinctive Features of 17α-Hydroxylase/17,20-Lyase Deficiency: A Retro-Prospective Study of a Large Patient Cohort. [PDF]

Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)
ABSTRACT Introduction Worldwide, combined 17‐hydroxylase/17,20‐lyase deficiency (CYP17D) is a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but it is the second most prevalent type in Brazil. An absence of sexual differentiation and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism arise from a reduction in the usual pattern of sex steroid formation in the adrenals and ...

Insulin-Like Growth Factor II (IGF-II) Is More Potent Than IGF-I in Stimulating Cortisol Secretion from Cultured Bovine Adrenocortical Cells: Interaction with the IGF-I Receptor and IGF-Binding Proteins [PDF]

, 1995
Although the stimulating effect of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on adrenal steroidogenesis has been well established, the role of IGF-II in the adult adrenal gland remains unknown.

Expression of the insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose-6-phosphate receptor in multiple human tissues during fetal life and early infancy [PDF]

, 1992
The insulin like growth factor-II/mannose-6-phosphate (IGF-II/M6P) receptor has been detected in many cells and tissues. In the rat, there is a dramatic developmental regulation of IGF-II/M6P receptor expression, the receptor being high in fetal and ...

Transfer of insulin-like growth factors I and II from plasma to lymph in young goats [PDF]

, 1992
The plasma clearance of intravenously injected '25I-labelled insulin-like growth factor I (IGFI, n = 13) and IGF-II (n = 12) and their transfer into lymph draining the foreleg of 3 5- to 8- week-old British Saanen goats was studied.

Thyroxine-binding globulin: investigation of microheterogeneity [PDF]

, 1981
Preparations of T4-binding globulin (TBG) from human serum was performed using only two affinity chromatography steps. Purity of the protein was demonstrated by a single band in overloaded disc and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, equimolar ...

Temporal expression pattern of the insulin-like growth factor II and fibroblast growth factor transcripts in avian embryogenesis [PDF]

, 2008
In this study, the abundance of IGF-II and bFGF transcripts was estimated in the chicken embryos using the competitive RT-PCR analysis. Significant enhancements in the abundance of IGF-II mRNA were observed at stages HH1 and 5, and a new accumulation in ...

Intact pulse cotyledon cell diet improves systemic growth via the somatotropic axis in malnourished mice

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
The MAL‐IC diet promotes growth in malnourished mice by regulating the gut microbiota—increasing the abundance of carbohydrate‐utilizing bacteria and SCFAs production. SCFAs circulate to the liver via the gut–liver axis, where they bind FFAR2 and activate the somatotropic axis, thereby stimulating GHR‐mediated GH signaling and increasing IGF‐1 and ...

The in vitro and in vivo effects of human growth hormone administration on tumor growth of rats bearing a transplantable rat pituitary tumor (7315b) [PDF]

, 1990
The direct effects of human GH and IGF-I on PRL secretion and cell proliferation were studied on PRL secreting rat pituitary tumor 7315b cells in vitro, as well as the effects in vivo of human GH administration on body weight, IGF-I levels and tumor size
