## Abstract The synthetic activity of chondrocytes in articular cartilage declines with age, possibly as a result of decreased sensitivity to anabolic growth factors such as insulinβlike growth factorβI. The sensitivity of these cells to insulinβlike growth factorβI is regulated, in pan, by the syn

Interest in the role of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis in growth control and carcinogenesis has recently been increased by the finding of elevated serum insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels in association with three of the most prevalent cancers in the United States: prostate cance
This review addresses the possible role of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)axis in normal glucose homoeostasis and in the etiopathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. IGF-I, a peptide hormone, shares amino acid sequence homology with insulin and has insulin-like activity; most notably, the promotion of
We have previously shown that the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) stimulate both proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle cells in culture, and that these actions in L6A1 muscle cells may be modulated by three secreted IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), IGFBP-4, -5, and -6. Since we found
## Abstract Both transforming growth factor (TGFβΞ²) and growth and development factor (GDF)β8 (myostatin) affect muscle differentiation by suppressing proliferation and differentiation of myogenic cells. In contrast, insulinβlike growth factors (IGFs) stimulate both proliferation and differentiatio
