The control of lipid concentration in the locust (Locusta migratoria) is mediated by the hyperlipaemic adipokinetic hormones (AKII I and II) released by the glandular lobe of the corpus cardiacum and by a hypolipaemic insulin-like hormone from the storage lobe of the corpus cardiacum. The ...
The article discusses a scientific study that analyzes the impact of insulin on the functioning of reproductive system and juvenile hormone metabolism in Drosophila melanogaster females under both normal and heat induced stress conditions. The juvenile hormone in Drosophila controls the functioning of the...
Differences in SHBG across adult life span and their relationship with insulin and BMI were evaluated in a representative cohort of 616 Italian women free of diabetes and not on hormone replacement therapy enrolled in the InCHIANTI Study. The relationship of SHBG with age, BMI, and fasting ...

We used male mice in all experiments to avoid the effects of changes in female sex hormone levels during aging on myocardial remodeling and metabolism. Therefore, our findings may not apply to female mice. The diet for the mice was purchased from Shanghai R&S Biotechnology Co., Ltd (M2119)...
We have studied the course over age of fasting insulin, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in untreated children with Turner's syndrome (TS) and measured the course of these parameters during therapy with GH alone and in ...
The role of the insulin-like growth factor system in the developing brain. Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play a central role in brain growth and development, with IGF-1, its receptors and binding proteins (IGFBPs) being highl... GA Werther,V Russo,N Baker,... - 《Hormone Research...
BMJ 332: 1309–1314 In growth-hormone-deficient adults, hormone replacement can boost cognitive performance Does growth hormone (GH) deficiency and subsequent GH-replacement therapy affect cognitive performance in adults? Falleti et al. performed a meta-analysis of 13 studies to find out. The ...
Complex traits emerge through the interaction of large number of genetic and other determinants. For this to occur, the various influences must converge onto a small number of final pathways. For example, the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis has a central role in grow...
This study was undertaken to evaluate the relationship between concentrations of insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in follicular fluid and fertilization and cleavage of human oocytes fertilized in vitro. The concentration of oestradiol, progesterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating...
