| | Insulin-like growth factor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Almost every cell in the human body is affected by IGF-1, especially cells in muscle, cartilage, bone, liver, kidney, nerves, skin, and lungs. | | | IGFs are part of a complex system that cells use to communicate with their physiologic enviornment. | | | 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. |

| | ARUP: IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) |
| | Insulin like growth factor (IGF-1, also referred to as somatomedin-C or Sm-C), is one of a class of peptides whose serum concentrations are regulated principally by human growth hormone (GH) and nutritional intake. | | | (See also: Growth Hormone and IGF Binding Protein-3.) In humans, two of these peptides have been identified, IGF-1 and IGF-2. | | | The anabolic and growth promoting effects mediated by the IGFs include cell proliferation and protein synthesis. |
