  1. 1. Insulin and IGF-I in type 1 diabetes

    Författare :Christina Hedman; Claes-Göran Östenson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Type I diabetes; IGF-I; IGF system; insulin; insulin analogues; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with type I diabetes have alterations in the GH/IGF system with reduced levels of circulating IGF-I, as well as other disturbances in the components of the IGF system.Alterations of both local and circulating IGF-I and its binding proteins (IGFBPs) have been associated with metabolic and vascular manifestations of diabetes and also with atherosclerosis.

  3. 2. The IGF-IGFBP system in aerobic exercise : with focus on skeletal muscle

    Författare :Ulrika Berg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :IGF-I; IGFBP-1; microdialysis; exercise; IL-6; calpain;

    Sammanfattning : Activity induced skeletal muscle adaptation has been suggested to be mediated largely by intrinsic factors, such as insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I. IGF-I stimulates muscle glucose and amino acid uptake and promotes anabolism. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Novel insulin-like growth factor-binding protein proteases : detection and characterization

    Författare :Jing Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :IGFs; IGFBP-1. IGFBP-3; azurocidin HBP CAP37; IGFBP protease; gender;

    Sammanfattning : Members of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system are known to have an impact on cell differentiation, proliferation and survival, and to be important regulators for nutrient metabolism. The IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP-1 to -6) control the availability of IGFs (IGF-I and IGF-II) to their receptors. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Smooth muscle hypertrophy and the IGF-system

    Författare :Yun Chen; David R. Clemmons; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Insulin-like growth factor-! (IGF-I) has both metabolic and mitogenic effects on smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The effects of IGF-I are modified by a group of binding proteins (IGFBPs). The present study was devoted to smooth muscle hypertrophy and the IGF-system in smooth muscle under different conditions.

  7. 5. Regulation and actions of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins in vascular smooth muscle cells

    Författare :Thomas Gustafsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) has multiple actions on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMCs) function. In the circulation and in extracellular fluids, IGF-I is complexed to high affinity IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), which modulate IGF-I bioactivity. The present study focused on expression and regulation of IGFBPs in VSMCs. LÄS MER
