The Relationship of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 to Fetal Growth and Adiposity

1 Jan 2016

Abstract excerpt

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) is necessary for adequate human growth. Overexpression of the IGF2 gene is associated with fetal overgrowth and may play a role in the intrauterine programming of adipose tissue. As obesity in children is a major public health problem associated with early onset of comorbid metabolic diseases, identifying early life markers of obesity may serve as useful tool for counseling...
