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-
Circulating somatomedin-C/insulin-like growth factor-I levels are low in the diabetic rat and unresponsive to exogenous growth hormone. However, the nature of this defect in growth hormone action remains unclear and there is little data on insulin-like growth factor-I gene expression in response to
## Abstract ## Background Impaired wound healing is a frequent phenomenon in diabetes mellitus. However, little is known of the fundamental cause of this pathology. The present study examined the effect of human insulinβlike growth factor (hIGF)β1 overexpression in combination with autologous cell
