Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are potent mitogens involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis. The action of IGFs is mediated through a specific cell membrane receptor (IGF-IR), and the interactions between IGFs and this receptor are regulated by IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs)

The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) have been implicated in the growth regulation of human breast cancer. Since the lCFs are associated with specific binding proteins (ICFBPs) which may modulate receptor/ligand interactions, production of IGFBPs by breast cancer cells could alter their IGF-depend
## Abstract Higher levels of circulating Insulinโlike Growth Factor (IGF)โI may be associated with higher risks for premenopausal breast cancer. We investigate the associations between circulating levels of IGFโI, its binding proteins (IGFBPs) โ1, โ2, โ3, Cโpeptide and postmenopausal breast cancer.
## Abstract The insulinโlike growth factors (IGFs) are potent mitogens for breast cancer cells and their activity is modulated by high affinity binding proteins (IGFBPs). We have recently shown that IGFBPโ1 purified from human amniotic fluid neutralizes IGFโIโdependent growth of MCFโ7 cells. In thi
