Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play an important role in normal cellular growth and development and have been implicated in the regulation of tumour growth. Two receptors are recognized, IGFR-1 and IGFR-2, of which one, IGFR-1, is a transmembrane heterodimer structurally similar to the insulin r

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The purpose of the current study was to investigate the association between insulin resistance (which was measured using fasting blood C‐peptide) and its joint association with insulin‐like growth factors (IGF‐1, IGF‐2, and IGF binding protein‐3 [IGFBP‐3]) on the risk of
## Abstract Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐I), a potent mitogen, is hypothesized to influence breast cancer risk. In 3 previous studies, a polymorphism in the __IGF‐1__ gene (sequence repeat length) was associated with plasma IGF‐I level. We evaluated prospectively the relationships among a (CA)
## Abstract The insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) is a major anabolic regulator in articular cartilage. The IGF‐binding proteins (IGFBPs) are increased during osteoarthritis (OA), but the function of the later proteins remains unknown. In general, the IGFBPs are pluripotential effectors capable of I
