Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) play an important role in cell growth and differentiation. Clinical and epidemiological studies have indicated that measuring IGFs and IGFBPs in blood has potential implications in assessing growth-related abnormalities and risks o

## Abstract Insulinβlike growth factor (IGF)βbinding proteinβ1 (IGFBPβ1), the main secretory protein of decidua that binds to IGFs and has been shown to inhibit or stimulate IGFs' bioactivities. Polymerization, one of the posttranslational modifications of IGFBPβ1, has been shown to lead to loss of
## Abstract The insulinβlike growth factor (IGF) is a major anabolic regulator in articular cartilage. The IGFβbinding proteins (IGFBPs) are increased during osteoarthritis (OA), but the function of the later proteins remains unknown. In general, the IGFBPs are pluripotential effectors capable of I
Background Advanced glycosylation end product (AGE) formation is a major mechanism for the development of complications in diabetes, and the possible roles of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) are not clearly established. ## Methods We examined the associati
