Molecular Basis of Intestinal Adaptation: The Role of the Insulin‐like Growth Factor System
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
Ongoing and future approaches to the cellular and molecular actions of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and growth hormone (GH) in intestinal adaptation are reviewed. This is highly relevant to understanding the benefits and risks associated with increasing use of GH and IGF-I in patients with short bowel syndrome or other bowel diseases. As other growth factors share some of the properties of IGF-I including...
