Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3 effects proliferation and differentiation of numerous cell types by binding to insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and attenuating their activity or by directly affecting cells in an IGFindependent manner. Consequently, IGFBPs produced by specific c
## Abstract While extracellular acidification within solid tumors is wellβdocumented, how reduced pH impacts regulation of insulinβlike growth factorβI (IGFβI) has not been studied extensively. Because IGFβI receptor binding is affected by IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), we examined how pH impacted
Using insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)-overexpressing transgenic (Tg) mice as a model, we have shown that IGF-I promotes myelination by increasing the number of oligodendrocytes and stimulating the expression of myelin-specific protein genes. In the present study, we investigated whether IGF-I p
