Postnatal Growth Responses to Insulin-Like Growth
Organ weight was compared in adult mice with deletion of one (IRS-1) or both (IRS-1) copies of the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) gene and IRS-1 littermates. IRS-1 mice showed modest reductions in weight of most organs in proportion to a decrease in body weight. IRS-1 mice showed major reductions in weight of heart, liver, and spleen that were directly proportional to a decrease in body w...
متن کاملPostnatal decrease in circulating insulin-like growth factor-I and low brain volumes in very preterm infants.
CONTEXT IGF-I and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) are essential for growth and maturation of the developing brain. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between postnatal serum concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 and brain volumes at term in very preterm infants. DESIGN Fifty-one infants with a mean (sd) gestational age (GA) of 26.4 (1.9) wk and birth weight (BW) o...
متن کاملPostnatal growth retardation: a universal problem in preterm infants.
BACKGROUND Previous data from this unit suggest that postnatal growth retardation (PGR) is inevitable in preterm infants. However, the study was performed in a single level III neonatal intensive care unit and applicability of the findings to other level III or level I-II special care baby units was uncertain. OBJECTIVES To examine postnatal hospital growth and to compare growth outcome in pr...
متن کاملMonitoring postnatal growth of preterm infants: present and future.
BACKGROUND There is no consensus with regard to which charts are most suitable for monitoring the postnatal growth of preterm infants. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the strategies used to develop existing postnatal growth charts for preterm infants and their methodologic quality. DESIGN A systematic review of observational longitudinal studies, having as their primary objective the creation ...
متن کاملInsulin, 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...
