Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), also called somatomedin C, is a hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin which plays an important role in childhood growth, and has anabolic effects in adults. [5]
Plasma insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) concentrations are regulated by genetic factors, nutrient intake, growth hormone (GH) and other hormones such as T4, cortisol and sex steroids.
3 maj 2018 · The growth hormone (GH)–insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I axis is a key endocrine mechanism regulating linear growth in children. While paediatricians have a good knowledge of GH secretion and assessment, understanding and use of measurements of the components of the IGF system are less current in clinical practice.
2 lut 2023 · We compared the diagnostic values of IGF-1 levels by using a cut-off value of ≤0 SD score, along with results of a single clonidine stimulation test (CST). We evaluated the false-positive rate, specificity, likelihood ratio, and area under the curve (AUC) of the 2 diagnostic methods.
This blood test checks levels of IGF-1, a growth hormone. Too much or too little can affect bone and tissue growth and development in you or your child.
16 maj 2012 · Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a pleiotropic polypeptide. Its expression is tightly regulated and it plays significant roles during early development, maturation, and adulthood.
