Consideration of existing data regarding clinical and biochemical risk factors for the development of breast cancer leads to the hypothesis that enhanced insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) activity plays a significant role in the development of this disease. Abnormal IGF-l activity may be related
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I, a polypeptide synthesized by skeletal cells, is presumed to act as an autocrine regulator of bone formation. IGF I stimulates bone replication of preosteoblastic cells and enhances the differentiated function of the osteoblast. The synthesis of skeletal IGF I is r
