## Abstract Insulinβlike growth factors (IGFβI, IGFβII) and their binding proteins (IGFBPβ1β6) play a key role in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, suggesting possible involvement in carcinogenesis. Several epidemiological studies show associations of IGFs with prostate cancer. We
## Abstract Higher circulating levels of IGFβI have been associated with increased risk of prostate and some other cancers. Most research on prostate cancer has been based on men with symptoms or identified following treatment of benign disease. However, increasing numbers of cancer cases are now d
## Abstract Deregulation of insulinβlike growth factor (IGF)βI/IGFβIR signaling has been implicated in the development and progression of prostate cancer. Agents that can suppress the mitogenic activity of the IGF/IGFβIR growth axis may be of preventive or therapeutic value. We have previously demo
## Background: Despite extensive effort, the mechanisms of prostate carcinogenesis are still unknown. we report on a modified method which enabled us to induce a high incidence of prostate carcinogenesis in the noble rat and examined the role of insulin-like growth factor-1 (igf-1) and vascular end
