Previous studies have suggested that nerve regeneration may be defective in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy. Since insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) has been shown to stimulate nerve regeneration, and IGF binding protein-1 is acutely regulated by plasma insulin we have investigated the rela

Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is associated with increased glucose, insulin, total and VLDL-triglyceride, and often total and LDL-cholesterol levels which promote vascular disease. Recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I which mimics many effects of insulin, decreased insul
Multiple factors contribute to the growth retardation which is a characteristic feature of uncontrolled diabetes. In this report we have examined the effects of streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetes on expression of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-
