Multiple factors contribute to the growth retardation which is a characteristic feature of uncontrolled diabetes. In this report we have examined the effects of streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetes on expression of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-

Oncology patients suffer multiple detrimental metabolic alterations. Among these are catabolism of tumor free body mass to supply nutrients to feed the tumor. This results not only in enhanced tumor growth but also poor wound healing and immunosuppression of the tumor host. Efforts are therefore bei
The acute metabolic actions of insulin-like growth factor I were studied in anaesthetized adult rats and its potency was compared to that of insulin. Following an i.v. bolus injection of insulin-like growth factor I a dose-dependent decrease of blood glucose and serum non-esterified fatty acid conce
We have previously shown that 17-β€-estradiol protects neurons in the dentate gyrus from kainic acidinduced death in vivo. To analyse whether this effect is mediated through estrogen receptors and through cross-talk between steroid and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) systems, we have concomitantly a
## Republic of Germany \* 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 b
