Abstract excerpt
To provide further insight into the function of the IGFBPs, transgenic (Tg) mice which overexpressed IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 were generated. In this report we have compared the phenotypic manifestations observed in these Tg mice. The IGFBP-1 Tg mice were significantly smaller at birth, birth weight and gained less weight in the postnatal period. Organ weight was proportionately reduced relative to body weight in most...
