## Abstract Growth failure is a common and complicated process in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Growth hormone, which is becoming a more commonly used agent in such patients, has demonstrated beneficial effects aside from increased growth velocity. Recently, insulinβlike growth factorβ1 has g
The structure of IGF-I is similar to that of insulin, having 43 % sequence homology with human proinsulin. Both peptides can induce metabolic and mitogenic effects through their own specific receptors, which also share many structural and functional similarities. Primarily involved in the regulation
Background. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is a potent mitogen for breast cancer cells. The majority of IGF-I in plasma is bound to IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), which modulate the biologic effects of IGF-I. Methods. Plasma concentrations of IGF-I, IGFBP-I, and IGFBP-3 were compared between
