CSF-1, IGF-1, and the control of postnatal growth and development
2 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Review discusses macrophages as the major extrahepatic source of IGF-1, and how a surge of CSF-1 production contributes to the control of postnatal growth and organ maturation. Growth hormone controls somatic growth in mammals by regulating the production of IGF-1, which is predominantly made by the liver.
