Unbalanced cancer status may undermine results on insulin and insulin-like growth factor.
To the Editor: Irwin et al. (1) found that an exercise intervention reduced levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and insulin among postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. However, we are concerned that the authors’ randomization failed to evenly distribute lowerand higher-grade cancers. Particularly, a significantly larger number of participants with higher-grade breast cancer were locate...
متن کاملInsulin and Insulin-like Growth Factor Unbalanced Cancer Status May Undermine Results on
In Response: We thank Dr. Wolf and colleagues fortheir interest in our paper. They are correct that later-stage cancer is a risk factor for increased cancer recurrence and death, and insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) levels have also been associated with poor prognosis (1). In our 6-month randomized trial of aerobic exercise, we observed reductions in insulin and IGF levels among bre...
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...
متن کاملRole of Insulin-like Growth Factor, Insulin-like Growth Factor Receptors, and Insulin-like Growth Factor-binding Proteins in Ovarian Cancer
Insulin and IGFs play an important role in cancer initiation and progression, including ovarian cancer (OC). Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most frequent type of OC in women and it is the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide. Generally, insulin is associated with metabolism, whereas Insulin like growth factors (IGFs) are involved in cell proliferation. Hence, Insulin-like grow...
متن کاملInsulin-like Growth Factor Receptors
There are two types of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptors. The type I receptor generally binds IGF-I more tightly than IGF-II and also interacts weakly with insulin. The type II receptor prefers IGF-II over IGF-I and does not recognize insulin. The type I receptor is made up of an alpha binding subunit (Mr 130000) and a beta subunit (Mr 95 000) probably organized as a heterotetramer (Oi...
