The type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) is effective in protecting cells from a variety of apoptotic injuries. In 32D murine hemopoietic cells, the IGF-IR sends three separate survival signals, through insulin receptor substrate-1, Shc, and mitochondrial Raf translocation. We report here that these three pathways for survival have a limited redundancy. If one of these pathways i...

The purpose of this study was to measure serum levels insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP7), Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), Hormone (GH), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and insulin in acromegaly patients healthy controls. group had 60 patients, while the population 30 people who never before. concentration IGFBP7, IGF-1, GH, IL-6, were determined. results present indicate that IGFBP7...
