Abstract excerpt
Possible differences in insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and -II) and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) were investigated in genetically fat or lean chickens. Comparisons were performed at 9 weeks of age in the fed or the fasted (48 h) state. Plasma concentrations of both IGFs were altered by nutrition and genotype. IGF-I, and to a lower extent IGF-II, decreased following fasting. IGF-I and -II were higher in fat...
