Insulin-like growth factor I1 is believed to play an important role in fetal growth and development. The insulin-like growth factor I1 gene expression is tissue specific and developmentally regulated. We have previously shown an enhanced level of insulin-like growth factor I1 messenger RNA and prote

* Insulinlike growth factor-I (IGF-I) is of critical importance in the regulation of tissue growth and cellular differentiation (1, 2). In addition to its growthpromoting effects, a rapid insulin-like metabolic activity (e.g., hypoglycemia after intravenous injection) has been demonstrated in humans and rats (3, 4). Short-term effects of IGF-I on liver metabolism were suggested by studies of glycogen synthesis and amino acid uptake in fetal rat hepatocytes (5) and in a human hepatoma cell

Insulin-like growth factor-ll (IGF-II) receptors in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes were characterized and their regulation by cell density examined. In hepatocytes cultured at 5 x lo5 cells per 3.8 cm2 plate, ['251]ICF-ll bound to specific, high affinity receptors (Ka = 4.4 + 0.5 x lo9 I
## Abstract Glucocorticoids act synergistically with insulinβlike growth factor I (IGFβI) to stimulate DNA synthesis and replication of cultured human fibroblasts. In the present study, we further define glucocorticoid and IGFβI interactive effects on human fibroblast metabolism and growth. IGFβI s
Liver regeneration factor belongs to the leucinezipper family of transcription factors. It was originally cloned and characterized through differential screening of a regenerating rat liver cDNA library. The mRNA for liver regeneration factor-1 is barely detectable in normal rat liver but is dramati
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and high concentrations of insulin have been shown to stimulate an increase in the number of oligodendrocytes that appear in developing monolayer cultures of rat brain cells (McMorris et al.,
