It has been suggested that recombinant human IGF-I (rhIGF-I) is a potential therapeutic agent in diabetes mellitus. It is known to have glucose-lowering effects in normal individuals, in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) and in extreme insulin-resistant states. IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) have the potential to affect the biological activity of rhIGF-I. We have studied the effect of infused rhIGF-I on IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 in a patient with Mendenhall's syndrome, a rare insulin-resistant state. During an infusion of 20 mg rhIGF-I, glucose concentrations fell from 44.1 +/- 7.2 to 31.5 +/- 7.2 (S.E.M.) mmol/l (P = 0.001), and insulin and C-peptide levels fell from 920 +/- 62 to 542 +/- 45 mU/l (P = 0.008) and 5466 +/- 633 to 3071 +/- 297 pmol/l (P = 0.02) respectively. Significant lowering of phosphate, magnesium and alkaline phosphatase concentrations was also noted. IGF-I levels rose from 48 +/- 10.2 to 410 +/- 50.1 micrograms/l (P = 0.001), and those of IGF-II fell from 279.8 +/- 8.3 to 104.3 +/- 7.9 micrograms/l (P = 0.001). IGFBP-1 concentrations did not significantly change during the infusion but those of IGFBP-3 increased from 1655 +/- 127 to 2197 +/- 334 micrograms/l (P = 0.002), despite a significant fall in GH concentrations from 10.7 +/- 2.6 to 4.1 +/- 1.1 mU/l (P = 0.007), suggesting that IGFBP-3 regulation is also IGF-I-dependent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007333 Insulin Resistance Diminished effectiveness of INSULIN in lowering blood sugar levels: requiring the use of 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent HYPERGLYCEMIA or KETOSIS. Insulin Sensitivity,Resistance, Insulin,Sensitivity, Insulin
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.

D007335 Insulin-Like Growth Factor II A well-characterized neutral peptide believed to be secreted by the LIVER and to circulate in the BLOOD. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like and mitogenic activities. The growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on SOMATOTROPIN. It is believed to be a major fetal growth factor in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR I, which is a major growth factor in adults.

D002096 C-Peptide The middle segment of proinsulin that is between the N-terminal B-chain and the C-terminal A-chain. It is a pancreatic peptide of about 31 residues, depending on the species. Upon proteolytic cleavage of proinsulin, equimolar INSULIN and C-peptide are released. C-peptide immunoassay has been used to assess pancreatic beta cell function in diabetic patients with circulating insulin antibodies or exogenous insulin. Half-life of C-peptide is 30 min, almost 8 times that of insulin. Proinsulin C-Peptide,C-Peptide, Proinsulin,Connecting Peptide,C Peptide,C Peptide, Proinsulin,Proinsulin C Peptide
