## Abstract ## Objective To determine the effects of chronic deficiency of growth hormone (GH) and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) on osteoarthritis (OA) severity. ## Methods Thirty‐five rats were divided into 4 treatment groups at 4 weeks of age: 1 control group (normal GH/IGF‐1 levels [he
Objective. To investigate insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) production in normal and osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocytes and to further examine the role of growth hormone (GH) in adult human cartilage and, in particular, in diseased tissue. Methods. IGF-1 production was measured with a radioimmunoa
We have demonstrated previously that insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3 alone has little growth inhibitory effect on Hs578T human breast cancer cells, but that it can dramatically accentuate the apoptotic response to the physiological trigger, ceramide, in an IGF-independent manner
