Insulin-like growth factor I stimulates erythropoiesis in hypophysectomized rats.
Stimulation of erythropoiesis during growth is necessary to ensure proportionality between erythrocyte mass and body mass. However, the way by which erythrocyte formation is adapted to body growth is still unknown. Growth arrest in hypophysectomized rats is accompanied by decreased erythropoiesis. We have, therefore, examined whether insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), the mediator of growth ...
متن کاملRecombinant human insulin-like growth factor I stimulates growth and has distinct effects on organ size in hypophysectomized rats.
Recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I (rhIGF-I) was infused subcutaneously into hypophysectomized rats for as long as 18 days. Three hundred micrograms (39 nmol) of rhIGF-I per day and 200 milliunits (4.5 nmol) of human growth hormone (hGH) per day increased body weight, tibial epiphyseal width, longitudinal bone growth, and trabecular bone formation similarly. Weight gains of the kidn...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor I gene polymorphism associated with growth traits in beluga (Huso huso) fish
The aim of the present study was to detect polymorphism in Insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene of beluga (Huso huso) fish using PCR-SSCP technique and also investigation of its association with growth traits (condition factor, body length and weight). A total of 150 specimens of beluga were randomly selected and DNA was isolated from caudal fin using modified salting out method. Then two ...

متن کاملIntravenously injected insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I/IGF binding protein-3 complex exerts insulin-like effects in hypophysectomized, but not in normal rats.
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) circulates in blood in two large molecular mass forms of 150 and 40 kD. Under normal conditions, most of the IGF is bound to the 150-kD complex by which it is retained in the circulation and therefore unable to exert acute insulin-like actions. The aim of this study was to answer the question whether or not IGF in the 40-kD complex is bioavailable to insulin tar...
