Low circulating IGF-I bioactivity is associated with human longevity: Findings in centenarians’ offspring
9 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Centenarians' offspring represent a suitable model to study age-dependent variables (e.g. IGF-I) potentially involved in the modulation of the lifespan. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the IGF-I in human longevity. We evaluated circulating IGF-I bioactivity measured by an innovative IGF-I Kinase Receptor Activation (KIRA) Assay, total IGF-I, IGFBP-3, total IGF-II, insulin,...
