What has the author Christine Jaye Wong written?
Christine Jaye Wong has written: 'Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF I) in the red spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens: Description of larval limb development; localization of IGF I in larval and adult newt limbs; and effects of IGF I on epimorphic regeneration of an adult newt appendage in vitro' -- subject(s): Insulin-Like Growth Factor I., Notophthalmus viridescens
What diagnostic tests are used to diagnose acromegaly?
laboratory tests measuring an increase of IGF-1 (3-10 times above the normal level) are useful. These results, however, must be carefully interpreted because normal laboratory values for IGF-1 vary
What organ secretes insulin like growth factors in the blood?
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is mainly secreted by the liver as a result of stimulation by growth hormone (GH). IGF-1 is important for both the regulation of normal physiology, as well as a number of pathological states, including cancer. The IGF axis has been shown to play roles in the promotion of cell proliferation and the inhibition of cell death (apoptosis). Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) is thought to be a primary growth factor required for early development while IGF-1 expression is required for achieving maximal growth. Gene knockout studies in mice have confirmed this, though other animals are likely to regulate the expression of these genes in distinct ways. While IGF-2 may be primarily fetal in action it is also essential for development and function of organs such as the brain, liver and kidney. Factors that are known to cause variation in the levels of GH and IGF-1 in the circulation include an individuals genetic make-up, the time of day, their age, sex, exercise status, stress levels, genetics, nutrition level and body mass index (BMI), disease state, race, estrogen status and xenobiotic intake. IGF-I has an involvement in regulating neural development including neurogenesis, myelination, synaptogenesis, and dendritic branching and neuroprotection after neuronal damage. Increased serum levels of IGF-I in children link to higher IQ.[1] IGF-1 shape the development of the cochlea through controlling apoptosis. Its deficit can cause hearing loss. Serum level of it also underlies a correlation between short height and reduced hearing abilities particularly around 3-5 years of age, and at age 18 (latepuberty). Dr. Andy Pozo
What Hormone works with growth hormone to stimulate osteoblasts?
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)
What does milk contain that may be helpful to cancer?
milk contains the substance called IGF-1 which can be helpful to cancer suffers. You are more than likely referring to IGF-1, which is a growth factor in homoginized milk. Preliminary studies have shown it to cause some cancers (prostate for one) to grow more rapidly.
Does a guy like you igf they hug you or want to?
Yes guys that want to hug you pretty much like you or their just being freindly
What company delivers phones from assurance wireless?
the company would have to be tmobile or igf you have good money you could go half with cricket.
What range should igf-1 level be in a 56 year old male?
In a 56-year-old male, the normal range for IGF-1 levels is typically between 94-252 ng/ml. These levels can vary depending on the laboratory that performs the test, so it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for interpretation.
Is tickling good for you?
Yes! Tickling makes us laugh, and the body produces feel good hormones when we laugh such as IGF-1 and growth hormone.
What is a code 14 for a 1994 Toyota Corolla?
Code 14 means "no IGF signal to the ECM for 4 consecutive IGT signals" which means there is a communication problem between the ECM and distributor...
Can igf-1 increase penis size as its a muscle growth enhancer?
The penis is three tubes that become filled with blood, they are not muscle so muscle enhancements won't help increase the size of the penis.
What happens when levels of IGF-1 reach abnormal peaks?
Bones, soft tissue, and organs throughout the body begin to enlarge, and the body changes its ability to process and use nutrients like sugars and fats.
