Size at birth and plasma insulin-like growth factor-1 concentrations.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that reduced fetal growth leads to altered plasma insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations in childhood. DESIGN A follow up study of 4 year old children whose birth weights were recorded, and of 7 year old children whose weight, length, head circumference, and placental weight were measured at birth. SETTING Pune, India, and Salisbury, England. ...
متن کاملSimilarity of Serum and Plasma Insulin-like Growth Factor Concentrations
BACKGROUND Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are implicated in many normal physiological processes and pathological states, including cancer. For large consortia projects, it may be necessary to make comparisons among studies with different specimens that were not collected specifically to optimize the measurement of IGFs. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare IGFs in matched serum and plasm...
متن کاملVertex balding, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3.
BACKGROUND A recent report suggested that men with vertex balding have higher levels of plasma insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). The association of its major carrier protein, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), with male pattern hair loss has not been examined. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the relations of plasma concentrations of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 with vertex balding in mid...
متن کاملLifestyle correlates of plasma insulin-like growth factor I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 concentrations.
Plasma levels of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) have been associated with risk of a number of cancers and other diseases. We examined the cross-sectional association of plasma IGF-I and IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) levels with age, smoking, physical activity, and reproductive and menopausal factors in 1037 healthy women. Adjusted least-square mean hormone levels across categories of li...
متن کاملDietary correlates of plasma insulin-like growth factor I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 concentrations.
Plasma levels of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) have been associated with risk of several cancers. Although protein-calorie malnutrition is known to decrease IGF-I levels, few published studies have related diet to IGF-I levels in well-nourished humans. We examined the cross-sectional association of plasma IGF-I and IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) levels with intakes of alcohol, energy, m...
