IGFs and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) are abundantly present in milk and in dairy products.
Compared to the IGFs, the IGFBP have received less attention in milk, although truncated …

100‐nm‐thick TiW (30 at. % Ti) films were used as diffusion barriers between silicon
substrates and thin Cu films. Sheet resistance measurements, Rutherford backscattering …

Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is a growth-promoting anabolic hormone that fosters cell
growth and tissue homeostasis. IGF-I deficiency is associated with several diseases, including …

Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play a critical role in fetal growth, and components of the IGF
system have been associated with fetal growth restriction in women. In human pregnancy, …

The insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) are determinants of local IGF-effects
and thus have an impact on growth and metabolism in vertebrate species. In farm animals, …

The acceptance of animal products is increasingly associated with standardized animal
welfare, which relates to appropriate animal husbandry from birth to slaughter. In particular, …

Forced expression of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in transgenic mice
has clearly revealed inhibitory effects on somatic growth. However, by this approach, it …

Simple Summary Insulin-like growth factors improve oocyte quality and are necessary for
oocyte maturation. However, their effectiveness is contingent upon regulated availability, …

The bioactivity of the IGF system is not a function of isolated hormone concentrations in a given
biological matrix. Instead, the biological activities of IGFs are regulated by IGFBPs, IGFBP …

Circulating insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) may be directly associated with colorectal
cancer risk, and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP‐3) is one of the most abundantly expressed …
