Plasma insulin‐like growth‐factor 1 (IGF‐1) concentrations predict early life‐history traits in a wild mammal

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The hormone insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) is a key player in the insulin/IGF signalling (IIS) pathway. Extensive biogerontological research demonstrates that this evolutionarily conserved nutrient‐sensing pathway plays a causal role in the regulation of growth ...
