Objective. Epidemiologic studies have suggested that estrogen replacement therapy may lower the risk of osteoarthritis in women, but the mechanism of this effect is unknown. Since estrogen acts in other tissues in part through regulation of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system as well as cyto

Haemangiopericytoma is a rare soft tissue tumour originating from the contractile pericapillary cells. Relatively little is known about its molecular pathogenesis. To address this issue, the insulin-like growth factor family (IGFs) was analysed in 19 tumours collected from a human tumour bank networ
## Gonadal hormones interact with in- sulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) to regulate synaptic plasticity during the estrous cycle in the rat mediobasal hypothalamus. It has been proposed that tanycytes, specialized glial cells lining the ventral region of the third ventricle, may regulate the avail
The present report investigates the cellular mechanisms involved in the regulation of cell proliferation by insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in the developing inner ear. The results show that insulin and IGF-I stimulate cell proliferation in the otic vesicle. This effect is associate
