Endotoxin at low doses stimulates pituitary GH whereas it decreases IGF-I and IGF-binding protein-3 in rats.
While it is well known that sepsis inhibits serum IGF-I and its gene expression in the liver, the effect on pituitary GH and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is poorly understood. The GH-IGF-I-IGFBP-3 response to different doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration has been investigated in adult male rats. Two experiments were performed, administration of low doses of LPS (5, 10, 50 and 10...
متن کاملInvestigation on the Levels of IGF-I Receptor and IGF-I Binding Protein I in the Brain of Insulin Resistant Rats
Abstract Introduction: There is limited knowledge available on the metabolism of glucose in the brain, an insulin insensitive organ. Insulin receptors hybridize with insulin like growth factor receptor (IGF-I) to transduce the signals in different areas of the brain. In this article we aimed at investigating whether the expression of IGF-I receptor and IGF-I binding proteins (IGFBP1) is change...
متن کاملIGF-I, IGF-I-binding proteins and GH-binding protein in malnourished elderly patients with inflammation receiving refeeding therapy.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanisms determining the success or failure of refeeding therapy in malnourished elderly patients with inflammation by studying changes in plasma IGF-I, GH-binding protein (GHBP) and IGF-binding protein (IGFBP) levels and IGFBP-3 proteolysis. DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 15 severely malnourished hospitalized elderly patients. Weight, food intake, plasma albumin...
متن کاملCentral and opposing effects of IGF-I and IGF-binding protein-3 on systemic insulin action.
IGF-I is recognized as an insulin sensitizer at the liver and muscle, while recent evidence suggests that IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 acts as an insulin antagonist. As there is a paucity of IGF-I receptors in the liver and as the IGF-IGFBP system in the central nervous system is emerging as physiologically relevant, we examined whether the effects of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 on insulin action are me...
متن کاملPlasma insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I, IGF-binding protein 3, and mammographic density.
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) play a role in the normal development of breast tissue and possibly in the etiology of breast cancer. Breast density is one of the strongest predictors of breast cancer. In a cross-sectional analysis within the Nurses' Health Study, we compared the associations of plasma levels of endogenous IGF-I and IG...
