Growth control: Invertebrate insulin surprises!

نویسنده

  • Sally J. Leevers
چکیده

Recent work on Drosophila has provided new insights into how insulin signalling - conserved in mammals, flies and worms - regulates growth and cell division during development. Invertebrates have been found to possess more insulin-like ligands than predicted, some of which behave as receptor antagonists.

Plasma Levels of Anabolic Hormones in Suckling Lambs are Affected by Late Gestational Nutrition

In this study, the effects of late gestational undernutrition (LGU) on plasma concentration of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I), leptin, insulin and glucose in subsequent sucking lambs was investigated. Ten twin-bearing ewes were fed either restrictedly (Restricted) or adequately (Control) during the last six weeks of gestation and were fed ad libitum after parturition. Blood samples were t...

Evaluation of the relationship between serum levels of insulin, cortisol and growth hormones and wound healing in normal and diabetic rats

Introduction: Several factors such as diseases, medications and humoral agents can delay or speed up wound healing process. Because of the limited information about the hormonal changes during wound healing, in this study the relationship between serum levels of growth hormone, insulin and cortisol and wound healing in normal and diabetic rats was evaluated. Methods: Male Wistar rats )weigh...

ANTISENSE RNA TO THE TYPE I INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR REVERSED THE TRANSFORMED PHENOTYPE OF PC-3 HUMAN PROSTATE CANCER CELL LINE IN VITRO

The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. Interference with the IGF-IR pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. We stably transfected the PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an IGF-IR antisense RNA expression plasmid. The ...

The Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (G>A) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (C677T) Gene Variants and the Serum Levels of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, Insulin, and Homeostasis Model Assessment in Patients with Acne Vulgaris

Background & Objective: To find an association between gene variants of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) with the risk of acne vulgaris (AV). Methods: In a case-control study, we investigated 150 AV patients and 148 healthy individuals (aged 18-25 years) for the IGF-1 G>A and MTHFR C677T polymorphis...
