11. Connexin43 in astroglial gap junctions. Regulation by age, neurotransmitters, GH and IGF-I
Sammanfattning : Connexins form gap junctions that are aqueous pores allowing low-molecular (.... LÄS MER
12. Proteolysis of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1, -2 and -4 : function of fragments
Sammanfattning : The insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) stimulate cell growth, survival and differentiation, and have insulin-like activity. A family of six IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP-1 through -6) bind to IGFs with high affinity and modulate their activity in the circulation and locally at cell-surface receptors. LÄS MER
13. Prolactin and growth hormone in breast cancer. Studies of human breast cancer and transgenic tumor models
Sammanfattning : Prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) are two related pituitary peptide hormones of importance during normal mammary gland development. Furthermore, their involvement in development and growth of malignant mammary tumors has been suggested by several investigators. LÄS MER
14. Proliferative and protective effects of the GH/IGF-I axis on cardiomyocytes and neural progenitor cells
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality in the Western world and the majority of cardiovascular deaths are caused by coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular disease. Growth hormone (GH) is a growth-promoting hormone synthesized by the pituitary. LÄS MER
15. Insulin-like growth factor-I deficiency, insulin sensitivity, and glucose metabolism
Sammanfattning : In children and adolescents, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) act in concert to stimulate linear growth; however, the effects on glucose metabolism are in opposition. GH increases insulin resistance by lipolysis. LÄS MER
