Circulating insulin-like growth factors and Alzheimer disease
OBJECTIVE To examine whether genetically predicted variation in circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) or its binding protein, IGFBP3, are associated with risk of Alzheimer disease (AD), using a mendelian randomization study design. METHODS We first examined disease risk by genotypes of 9 insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using published ...
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...
متن کاملGrowth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in Alzheimer ́s Disease
Alzheimer ́s disease (AD) is a major public health issue in the ageing population. For decades, research focused on studies using neurochemistry and biochemistry to understand the mechanisms underlying this disease. Recently, emerging evidence supports the concept that AD is also a disorder of metabolic degeneration. Amyloid beta-peptide is central to the pathogenesis of AD, and the AD brain is ...
متن کاملInsulin, insulin-like growth factors, insulin resistance, and neoplasia.
An accumulating body of epidemiologic and laboratory evidence suggests that insulin and insulin-like growth factors influence both the risk and the prognosis of cancer. In this brief review, I highlight topics covered in my lecture on research directions in this field, including the view that metformin deserves investigation as a potential adjunct in the treatment or prevention of cancer in per...
متن کاملInsulin-like Growth Factors and Cancer
• The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family of peptides, binding proteins, and receptors are important for normal human growth and development and are involved in the specialized functions of most physiologic systems. Most members of the IGF system are expressed by different cancer cells and may play an important role in the propagation of these malignancies. New therapies aimed at modulating...
