Abstract Human insulin-like growth factor I (hIGF-I) is a kind of growth factor with clinical significance in medicine. The major objective of this study is over- production of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I( rhIGF-I) through a developed process by recruiting effective factors in order to achieve the most recombinant protein. Up to now E. coli expression system has been widely us...

insulin – like growth factor – i (igf-1) plays a role in the skeletal muscle in the development, growth, repair, and maintenance of the tissues in an autocrine / paracrine as well as endocrine fashion. the aim of the present study was to investigate the response of growth factors to two different training methods. 14 male volunteers were selected and divided randomly into two groups. group a (p...

molecular genetics selection on individual genes is a promising method to genetically improve economically important traits in livestock. the insulin like growth factor-i (igf-i) gene may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues, including muscle cells, cartilage and bone. the objectives of the present study were the estimate the haplotype frequencies of the igf-i gene polymorphisms i...

when grown in monolayer culture at low density and with the addition of serum, cartilage cells dedifferentiate or are overgrown by fibroblast-like cells. the aim of this study was to optimize the cultivation of chondrocytes in monolayer culture and to slow down their transformation or their overgrowth by fibroblast-like cells. the interaction between chondrocytes and cartilage-specifc matrix is...

PURPOSE To study the growth regulation of bovine corneal endothelium, the effects of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I on the expression of the c-fos proto-oncogene as well as on DNA synthesis were analyzed. Bovine corneal endothelial cells were also analyzed for the presence of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I receptors. METHODS Indirect immunofluorescence was used to assess t...

growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 are anabolic hormones which play a vital role in developing body tracts especially in childhood and adolescence years. exercise is a motive which influences gh and igf-1 secretion. today, water sports are highly recommended due to creating delight in children. therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of eight weeks of water t...

The type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) plays multiple roles in several cancers and increased circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are associated with increased risk of breast, colon, and prostate cancers. Because IGF-II and insulin signal via the insulin receptor (IR) to stimulate the growth of cancer cells, inhibition of IR might be necessary to totally d...

Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) and its signaling pathways play an important role in cell proliferation, growth, differentiation and survival. IGF-axis controls cellular, physiological and metabolic activity of several cell types including cardiomyocytes. IGF-I acts through its signaling receptorIGF-IR to induce physiological or adaptive hypertrophic growth. Various reports also ...
