  4. 2. IGF-I receptors, insulin receptors and insulin/IGF-I hybrid receptors in human endothelial cells : with special reference to diabetes

    Author : Marloes Dekker Nitert; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Patients with diabetes mellitus are known to develop vascular complications, which occur as macroangiopathy, atherosclerosis and mediasclerosis, as well as microangiopathy, e.g. retinopathy and nephropathy. The precise mechanisms causing these complications have not yet been elucidated. READ MORE

  5. 3. The growth hormone receptor and growth hormone sensitivity in man

    Author : Ruth Wickelgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GH sensitivity; GH receptor; quantitative RT-PCR; IGF-I; skeletal muscle; adipose tissue; tissue-specific; promoter; 5´-untranslated region; psoriasis; epidermis;

    Abstract : It is well established that the response to endogenous and exogenous growth hormone (GH) varies between individuals. For example, conditions with increased catabolic rate, such as trauma, sepsis and surgery, are believed to be associated with acquired GH insensitivity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Initiation of Protein Biosynthesis in Skeletal Muscles at Feeding

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Protein synthesis; Translation initiation; amino acids; Snat 2; MHC2A; IGF-I;

    Abstract : Background and aim. Artificial nutrition by intravenous feeding has for decades indicated less than optimal support of whole-body protein metabolism and balance during some treatment conditions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cardiovascular effects of growth hormone, IGF-I and growth hormone secretagogues

    Author : Åsa Tivesten; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : cardiovascular system; growth hormone; insulin-like growth factor-I; growth hormone secretagogues; echocardiography.;

    Abstract : Growth hormone (GH) may exert direct growth-promoting and metabolic actions on target tissues, but most of its effects are mediated by circulating (endocrine) or local (auto-/paracrine) insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). The GH/IGF-I system has an important role during cardiac development and for maintaining the structure and function of the heart. READ MORE
