Insulin, insulin-like growth factors and neoplasia.
Over the past decade, dozens of epidemiological studies and laboratory experiments have provided evidence for relationships between insulin-like growth factor (IGF) physiology and neoplasia. Population studies provide evidence for a modestly increased risk of a subsequent cancer diagnosis in subjects with IGF-I levels at the high end of the broad normal range, as compared to those at the low en...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor binding proteins modulate Müller cell responses to insulin-like growth factors.
PURPOSE Müller cells are consistently identified in diabetic fibrocontractive ocular tissues and, in response to insulin-like growth factor I, generate tractional forces of the type that cause retinal detachment. Recent studies suggest that diabetes-associated increases in vitreous insulin-like growth factor activity cannot be attributed to simple increases in concentration alone, suggesting th...
متن کاملInsulin, insulin-like growth factors, insulin resistance, and neoplasia.
An accumulating body of epidemiologic and laboratory evidence suggests that insulin and insulin-like growth factors influence both the risk and the prognosis of cancer. In this brief review, I highlight topics covered in my lecture on research directions in this field, including the view that metformin deserves investigation as a potential adjunct in the treatment or prevention of cancer in per...
متن کاملProteolytic conversion of the molecular forms of bovine milk galactosyltransferase.
Tryptic hydrolysis of galactosyltransferase purified from bovine milk by affinity chromatography resulted in a decrease in the amount of the high molecular weight form (58,000) with a concomitant increase in the amount of lower molecular weight form (42,000) with little loss of activity. After extensive activity loss, a peptide of molecular weight 38,000 remained as the predominant species and ...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factors during pregnancy
© 1999 Journals of Reproduction and Fertility 1359-6004/99 $15.00 The insulin-like growth factors, IGF-I and IGF-II, have effects on metabolism, growth, proliferation and differentiation in many tissues and cell types (Jones and Clemmons, 1995) and are therefore important modulators of many aspects of physiology. Insulin-like growth factor actions are largely mediated via the type 1 IGF recepto...
