Sparse cultures of fetal and postnatal human fibroblasts were equivalent in their responsiveness to the mitogenic action of somatomedin C/insulin-like growth factor I (SM-C/IGF-I). At both developmental stages, the addition of SM-C/IGF-I (100 ng/ml) increased cell number at day 3 1.4-fold in serum-f

In serum-free medium, insulin-like growth factor-lisomatomedin-C (IGWSM-C) was weakly mitogenic for adult human fibroblasts in culture. However, in the presence of 0.5% h u m a n hypopituitary serum (HHS), which by itself had little effect, there was a marked dose-dependent response to IGF-IISM-C wi
We investigated the role of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) as regulating factors of cartilage metabolism in human synovial fluid (SF), using a bovine explant culture system that was shown to respond to recombinant IGF-1 in vitro.

We have investigated whether the previously demonstrated stimulatory actions of growth hormone on DNA synthesis and (pro)insulin biosynthesis and release of isolated adult rat islets of Langerhans are mediated by an autocrine release of somatomedin-C/insulin-like growth factor I (SM-C/IGF I). In med
