Abstract excerpt
In humans, intrauterine growth retardation is correlated to high levels of serum IGF binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1). This present study analyzes in vivo the impact of circulating IGFBP-1 on body growth associated to bone mineralization and carbohydrate resources. Transgenic mice used in this work overexpressed human IGFBP-1 in liver from embryonic day (E)14.5, concomitantly to the appearance of ossification centers,...
