We investigated the distribution of radiolabelled IGF-1 in the late gestation ovine fetus by exclusion gel chromatography following intravenous injection of 125I rh (recombinant human) met-IGF-1 into the chronically instrumented fetal lamb (120-130 days, n = 7). One minute after injection of 125I rh met-IGF-1 into the fetal femoral vein, 20.9 +/- 3.1% of the counts circulated in the 150K binding protein region, 55.0 +/- 3.7% in the 50K binding protein region and 18.7 +/- 0.6% in the free or 7K region. The chromatographic profiles obtained in the fetus were in general similar to those previously seen in the adult sheep. After an initial equilibration phase the half life of IGF-1 associated with the 150K binding fractions were 412.1 +/- 103.6 min. Two phases of clearance were observed for IGF-1 in association with the 50K binding fractions, an initial phase with a half life of 30.6 +/- 4.5 min followed by a second phase with a half life of 202.3 +/- 10.3 min. The 7K or 'free' form of IGF-1 had an initial half life of 12.6 +/- 5.1 min. Chromatography of samples of fetal tracheal fluid, fetal urine, amniotic fluid, maternal uterine venous plasma and maternal systemic plasma showed no movement of intact IGF-1 out of the fetal circulation into the fetal fluids or into the maternal circulation. However, when simultaneous samples were obtained from the fetal femoral artery and umbilical vein, higher radioactivity was consistently observed in the fetal femoral artery raising the possibility of placental uptake of IGF-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007334 Insulin-Like Growth Factor I A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor.

D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.
