## Abstract Pregnancy‐Associated Plasma Protein‐A (PAPP‐A) proteolyses insulin‐like growth factor binding protein‐4 (IGFBP‐4), thereby regulating local IGF availability. Reduced PAPP‐A mRNA expression has been reported in ovarian cancer specimens compared to normal ovarian surface epithelial cells
## Abstract Glucocorticoids (GCs) at physiological concentrations stimulate osteoprogenitor proliferation and differentiation in rat bone cell populations, and this is mediated in part by an increased response to insulin‐like growth factors (IGFs). Since IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) modulate IGF a
