Changes in serum insulin-like factor 3 during normal male puberty.
CONTEXT Insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3) is produced by the Leydig cells, and in adults, its secretion is dependent on the state of differentiation of these cells, which, in turn, is dependent on LH. However, the secretion and regulation of INSL3 during puberty is unknown. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to evaluate INSL3 concentrations during normal male puberty and the relation of INSL3 to LH, FSH...
متن کاملSerum concentrations of insulin-like growth factor and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 and recurrent colorectal adenomas.
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and its primary binding protein, IGFBP-3, have been associated with colorectal cancer incidence in prior epidemiologic studies. High concentrations of IGF-I generally result in increasing risk and high concentrations of IGFBP-3 in decreasing risk. Only one prior study of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 and adenoma recurrence has been reported. We assayed fasting serum fro...
متن کاملMaternal serum insulin-like growth factor-I.
The recent report on maternal insulin-like growth factor-I is very interesting. Yang et al. concluded that “maternal serum IGF-I is significantly related to GA, maternal BW, and BMI during pregnancy.” In fact, there are some previous reports on this issue. Pathmaperuma et al. made a completely different observation. In their report, it was reported that serum IGF-I “did not correlate with newbo...
متن کاملChanges in the male voice at puberty.
The changes in the male voice in relation to the biological characteristics of puberty were assessed longitudinally in 26 boys. Speaking and singing fundamental frequencies were analysed in relation to the Tanner staging of puberty, saliva testosterone levels, and the Cooksey classification of voice analysis. There were abrupt changes in voice characteristics between Tanner stages G3 and G4 and...
متن کاملSerum and seminal plasma insulin-like growth factor-1 in male infertility
OBJECTIVE Growth hormone and its mediator, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), have been suggested to exert gonadotropic actions in both humans and animals. The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between serum IGF-1 concentration, seminal plasma concentration, and sperm parameter abnormalities. METHODS A total of 79 men were enrolled in this study from December 2011 to J...
