Systematic review of insulin-like growth factor 1 gene expression in women with breast cancer

cDNA Cloning of a Bovine Insulin-like growth factor-1 from Egyptian Buffalos and Expression of its Recombinant Protein in Escherichia coli

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is regarded as a crucial clinically significant therapeutic agent against several pathological conditions. Recently, recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology has enabled the production of many drugs of rDNA-origin including IGF-1. Securing a readily available supply of IGF-1...

Update on new GH-IGF axis genetic defects

ABSTRACT The somatotropic axis is the main hormonal regulator of growth. Growth hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are the key components of the somatotropic axis. This axis has been studied for a long time and the knowledge of how some molecules could prom...

Genetic causes of isolated short stature

ABSTRACT Short stature is a common feature, and frequently remains without a specific diagnosis after conventional clinical and laboratorial evaluation. Longitudinal growth is mainly determined by genetic factors, and hundreds of common variants have been associated to height variability among healthy in...

Expressão gênica de IGF-I e GHR no fígado e no músculo do peito de codornas de corte suplementadas com diferentes níveis de metionina em duas gerações sucessivas

Este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar a expressão gênica do fator de crescimento semelhante à insulina I (IGF-I) e do receptor do hormônio do crescimento (GHR) no fígado e no músculo do peito de codornas de corte, alimentadas com dietas contendo diferentes níveis de suplementaçã...
