Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Insulinlike growth factor II (IGF-II) regulates metabolism and growth. In humans, both positive and negative relationships have been reported between serum IGF-II levels and obesity. This study assessed the relationship between serum IGF-II levels and BMI and determined whether IGF-II levels predict weight gain. METHODS: Serum samples were available from 911 American Indians with a recorded BMI. IGF-II...
