Abstract.Serum insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), which circulate bound to specific IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), must exit the intravascular space before acting on target tissues. Little is known about the nature of IGF/IGFBPs in extravascular fluids of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). Peritoneal dialysate (PD) was studied since, after a short incubation, PD contains proteins which have...
Abstract. Children with chronic renal failure (CRF) often fail to attain an adult height consistent with their genetic potential. The growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor (IGF)/growth plate chondrocyte axis has been intensively studied in these children to determine the basis for this growth failure. Evidence suggests that hepatic GH resistance results in deficient expression of IGF-I. However,...
