Abstract excerpt
The insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is considered to be a factor that mainly regulates growth, differentiation, and the maintenance of various function in numerous tissues through binding to a family of transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptors, signaling primarily through the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) encoded by the IGF1R gene. The objectives of the present study were to estimate the...
