The effects of passive immunization against IGF-1 either alone, or together with immunization against IGF-2, on growth and metabolism were examined in chickens. Immunization against IGF-1 alone had no effect upon any aspect of growth, carcass composition, efficiency of energy utilization or hormone concentrations studied. Immunization against both IGF-1 and IGF-2 together resulted in a lighter final body weight (P < 0.05) compared with controls. Immunization against both IGFs together decreased abdominal fat content (P < 0.05) and resulted in a heavier mean spleen weight (P < 0.01). The joint immunization was also associated with elevated plasma T3 concentrations. These data may indicate a role for IGF-2, but not for IGF-1, in fat metabolism in chickens.

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.
