Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and clinical nutrition.
IGF-I (insulin-like growth factor-I) is a peptide hormone, produced predominantly by the liver in response to pituitary GH (growth hormone), which is involved in a wide variety of physiological processes. It acts in an endocrine, paracrine and autocrine manner to promote growth. The production of IGF-I signals the availability of nutrients needed for its anabolic actions. Recently, there has be...
متن کامل[Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and liver cirrhosis].
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by multiple tissues in response to growth hormone (GH). It is partly responsible for GH activity, and also has glucose-lowering and anabolizing effects. Ninety percent of circulating IGF-I originates in the liver and has autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine effects, the latter on multiple tissues. Liver cirrhosis results in a...
متن کاملThe use of urinary Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) for determining skeletal age of participants
Introduction: Biochemical markers play an important role in the growth and repair of bone and can be evaluated in different biological fluids. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the level of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in urine as a puberty index and to compare it with cervical vertebral maturational stages (CVMSs) in lateral cephalometry. Materials&Methods: In this cros...
متن کاملEffect of the Addition of Insulin Like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) on Cryopreservation of Hariana Bull Semen
This experiment was designed to study the effect of insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on cryopreservation of Hariana bull semen. For this purpose, semen ejaculates were collected from four Hariana bulls using artificial vagina at biweekly interval. The semen samples which possess more than 70% initial progressive motility and above 500 million/mL spermatozoa concentration was subsequently su...
متن کاملa survey of correlation between insulin-like growth factor-i (igf-i) levels and severity of liver cirrhosis
results 100 patients with cirrhosis with a male to female ratio of 63:37 and a mean age of 44.4 ± 15 years were enrolled in the study. median igf-1 was 92.95 ± 91.51 ng/ml. 14 patients (14%) had igf-1 within normal limits while 86 patients (86%) had abnormal igf-1 levels. in all patients the correlation coefficient between igf-1 and meld was -0.317 (p = 0.001) and 0.478 between igf-1 and child-...
