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-
Circulating somatomedin-C/insulin-like growth factor-I levels are low in the diabetic rat and unresponsive to exogenous growth hormone. However, the nature of this defect in growth hormone action remains unclear and there is little data on insulin-like growth factor-I gene expression in response to
