	Insulin-like growth factor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		IGFs are part of a complex system that cells use to communicate with their physiologic environment.
		The IGF axis has been shown to play roles in the promotion of cell proliferation and the inhibition of cell death (apoptosis).
		The IGF's are known to bind the IGF-1 receptor, the insulin receptor, the IGF-2 receptor, the insulin-related receptor and possible other receptors.

	Aurogen: IGF for the treatment of peripheral neuropathies
		The IGF genes are turned on during the regeneration of damaged nerves in adult mammals.
		IGF gene expression is greatly reduced in brain, spinal cord, nerves and livers of Type I and Type II diabetic rats.
		Loss of IGF activity in nondiabetic rodents (IGF null mice, anti-IGF antibodies) causes neuropathy similar to that in diabetes such as reduced axonal diameters, nerve conduction velocity, nerve regeneration, and death of neurons.

	IGF-1 and milk statement from FDA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		IGF-I is a protein normally found in all humans, and is not intrinsically harmful.
		FDA determined that this modest increase in milk IGF-I concentration was not a human food safety concern because it was less than the natural variation in milk IGF-I levels observed during lactation and was less than the fluctuation observed in milk from treated and control cows prior to rbGH administration.
		These studies have demonstrated that the levels of IGF-I found in milk from treated cows are within the range of those normally found in milk from untreated cows.

	LR3 IGF-1 - PremierMuscle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		IGF-I is considered to be the main post-natal growth-promoting factor and IGF-II has major effects during fetal development.
		IGF-I is similar in structure to pro-insulin, the precursor of insulin.
		IGF binding proteins bind IGFs with high affinity and generally inhibit the actions of IGFs on cells.

	Study Links IGF-1 to Prostate Cancer
		IGF-I was significantly associated with prostate cancer risk in a univariate analysis; men in the highest quartile had an RR of 2.4 (95% CI 1.2 to 4.7) as compared with men in the lowest quartile (Table 2).
		Men over age 60 and in the highest quartile of IGF-I had an RR of 7.9 (95% CI 2.1 to 30.7) with adjustment for IGFBP-3, compared with men of similar age and in the lowest quartile; the comparable RR among men age 60 or less was 1.6 (95% CI 0.4 to 6.1).
		However, plasma IGF-I level was strongly related to risk of developing prostate cancer even among men with a baseline PSA level less than or equal to 4 ng/ml (the multivariate RR of clinical diagnosis during followup increased from 1.0 to 4.6 across quartiles of IGF-I, adjusted for IGFBP-3, age, and smoking).

	IGF-I in Mammary Gland Development
		Despite the fact that both GH and IGF-I can stimulate a small amount of new TEB formation in the absence of E2, and that E2 in the absence of the pituitary has no effect on induction of these structures, E2 is extremely important in pubertal development of the mammary gland [12].
		In this model, IGF-I production in the mammary gland is partially under the control of the hormones of pregnancy and lactation, which cause expression of the rat whey acidic protein gene and therefore, the IGF-I gene coupled to it.
		Implied in the process of understanding the effects of IGF-I on mammary gland development at various stages of life is the eventual possibility that those observations might be applicable to better understanding and treating breast cancer.

	International Foundation For The Conservation Of Wildlife
		IGF has just completed last week a major research operation on lion and tiang in Zakouma National Park, in partnership with the Chadian authorities, the CURESS project, CIRAD and the Zakouma lion project.
		The IGF Foundation is launching a new project to conserve the last remaining population of Kara Tau argali ("Ovis ammon nigrimontana") under the auspices of the Almaty Academy of Science with support of the French Embassy in Kazhakstan.
		The IGF Foundation has coordinated a comprehensive survey of the conservation status of the African Lion ("Panthera leo" Linnaeus, 1758) throughout the whole distribution range of the taxon.

	Kits : Assay Panel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Less than 25% of total IGF circulates bound to IGFBPs in a binary complex, while the majority circulate in a ternary complex consisting of IGFs bound to either IGFBP-3 or BP-5 and the glycoprotein known as the acid labile subunit (ALS).
		The formation of the ternary complex prolongs the half-life of both the IGFs and IGFBP-3 in the circulation, maintaining IGFs in the intravascular space for steady delivery and distribution to target tissues.
		In the tissues, ALS is absent, and most of the IGFs are bound to IGFBPs as heterodimers with only a small fraction of IGFs in the free form.

	Internet Governance Forum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the negotiations in the second phase of WSIS in Tunis, all four proposals were discussed and a compromised decision was reached for the convening of the IGF by the second quarter of 2006.
		The IGF is a venue of dialogue which functions on a global level with the aim to co-ordinate international cooperation of all relevant stakeholders on an equal footing and through open, participatory and transparent procedures.
		To some the IGF might prove to be the process, which through loose consensus of all involved players will elaborate on the definition and the scope of internet governance, further delineate its key issues and determine its principles, by issuing agendas, plans of action or even recommendations.

		In the latter study Nelly Mauras and Bernard Beaufrere of the Nemours Children’s Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, were looking at several different things: the effect of IGF-I on protein metabolism; its ability to stop the protein-wasting caused by glucocorticosteroid drugs like prednisone, and its effect on insulin and glucose metabolism.
		The study found that IGF-I at 100 micrograms per kilogram of body weight given twice daily enhanced the body’s protein metabolism in the same way as growth hormone.
