متن کاملInsulin/Insulin-like growth factor-1 signaling and cognitive function in humans.
An accumulating body of evidence suggests the involvement of an evolutionary conserved insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling (IIS) pathway in the regulation of the life and health span in nematodes, flies, rodents, and humans. We studied the association between insulin/IGF-1 signaling and cognitive function among 1015 participants, 85 years old or older, of the population-based...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 and risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 is implicated in learning and memory. Experimental studies have suggested that the IGF-1 system is beneficial in cognition, especially in Alzheimer's disease (AD), by opposing Aβ amyloid processing and hyperphosphorylated tau toxicity. Low IGF-I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3 serum levels are significantly associated with AD. To asses...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor-I and cognitive function in healthy older men.
The GH/insulin-like growth factor-I (GH/IGF-I) axis is known to be involved in aging of physiological functions. Recent studies indicate that the GH/IGF-I axis may be associated with cognitive functioning. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the age-related decline in circulating levels of IGF-I, as an index of anabolic status, is associated with cognitive functions that are k...
متن کاملThe Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (G>A) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (C677T) Gene Variants and the Serum Levels of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, Insulin, and Homeostasis Model Assessment in Patients with Acne Vulgaris
Background & Objective: To find an association between gene variants of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) with the risk of acne vulgaris (AV). Methods: In a case-control study, we investigated 150 AV patients and 148 healthy individuals (aged 18-25 years) for the IGF-1 G>A and MTHFR C677T polymorphis...
