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
To examine the relationship between serum levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Methods. Serum IGF-1 levels were compared in 162 male and 101 female subjects age 220 stratified by presence of radiographic changes of OA of the knee. Results. Mean serum
Brain injury has been prevented recently by systemic administration of human insulin-like growth factor-I (hIGF-I). It is widely believed that protein neurotrophic factors do not enter the brain from blood, and the mechanism by which circulating hIGF-I may be neuroprotective is uncertain. This inves
