Insulin-like growth factor II stimulates motor nerve regeneration.
Injury to mammalian motor nerves can lead to paralysis, but relatively successful regeneration may occur when conditions are favorable. Elucidation of the mechanism upholding successful regeneration is of theoretical and clinical interest. In this study, the hypothesis that insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) can stimulate motor nerve regeneration was tested. When IGF-II was infused continuo...
متن کاملEffects of Nerve Growth Factor, Insulin- Like Growth Factor-I and Collagen Gel on Peripheral Nerve Channel: Sensory, Functional and Regeneration Through Piezoelectric Electrophysiologicalal Study
Purpose: The limited availability of donor sites for nerve grafts continues to stimulate research toward finding suitable alternatives. Material and Methods: In the following study, the effects of direct administration of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), Insulin - Like Growth Factor - I (IGF-I) , or / and collagen gel into Polyvinylidene Fluride (PVDF) gap was tested in a rat sciatic nerve model. A ...
متن کاملInsulin, insulin-like growth factor II, and nerve growth factor effects on tubulin mRNA levels and neurite formation.
We have previously shown that insulin and the insulin-like growth factors share some important neurotrophic properties with nerve growth factor (NGF), including the capacity to enhance neurite formation. In this study, we have examined the effects of these neuritogenic agents on the expression of genes coding for important cytoskeletal proteins of axons and dendrites. Insulin specifically and c...
متن کاملInsulin-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 کاملErythropoietin promotes peripheral nerve regeneration in rats by upregulating expression of insulin-like growth factor-1
INTRODUCTION Erythropoietin (EPO) has been shown to have beneficial effects on peripheral nerve damage, but its mechanism of action remains incompletely understood. In this study we hypothesized that EPO promotes peripheral nerve repair via neurotrophic factor upregulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty adult male Wistar rats were employed to establish a sciatic nerve injury model. They were th...
