Deficiency of growth hormone and IGF-1 reduces cancer and kidney disease, but creates other problems
Deficiencies of growth hormone and similar compounds may reduce cancer and kidney disease late in life, but also may lead to cartilage degeneration and impaired memory and learning ability, according to research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and four other institutions. The researchers used a rat model to explore the effects of growth hormone and another compound, IGF-1...Search For Bigfoot Creature To Be Delayed
An expedition from Singapore in search of 'Bigfoot', an ape-like beast in the Johor forests of Malaysia has been postponed until 21 January 2006. //This has been done on the request of the authorities from Malaysia. This has been revealed by the Singapore Paranormal Investigators (SPI). The media in Malaysia had reported mysterious bite marks and footprints, which had prompted Singapore t...IGF-1 EIA Endocrine Function 026-AC-27F1 Insulin Growth Factor
Description:Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a polypeptide of 70 amino acids (7650 daltons), and is one of a number of related insulin-like growth factors present in the circulation. The molecule shows approximately 50% sequence homology with proinsulin and has a number of biological activities similar to insulin. The peptide is growth hormone (GH) dependent to a high degree, but there is growing evid...IGF-BP3 EIA Endocrine Function 022-IGF-E03 Insulin Growth Factor binding protein

Description:The IDS OCTEIATM IGF-I kit is a two-site ELISA for the quantitative determination of Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) in serum or plasma. The assay uses a highly specific polyclonal "capture" antibody in microtiter wells and a high affinity monoclonal antibody labelled with horseradish peroxidase. A simple sample pre-treatment replaces acid/ethanol extraction to provide for the direct immunoa...Insmed Inc. Welcomes Studies Linking IGFBP-3 to Prevention of Blindness in Premature Infants
