2. Insulin-like growth factor 1 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin-like_growth_factor_1

   Mid-range IGF-1 levels are associated with the lowest mortality. A synthetic analog of IGF-1, mecasermin, is used for the treatment of growth failure in children with severe IGF-1 deficiency. [15] Cyclic glycine-proline (cGP) is a metabolite of hormone insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). It has a cyclic structure, lipophilic nature, and is ...

3. Insulin-like growth factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin-like_growth_factor

   Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2, at times IGF-II) is thought to be a primary growth factor required for early development while IGF-1 expression is required for achieving maximal growth. Gene knockout studies in mice have confirmed this, though other animals are likely to regulate the expression of these genes in distinct ways.

4. Myokine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myokine

   Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma 1-alpha coactivator (PGC-1 alpha) is a specific myokine since it stimulates satellite cells, but stimulates M1 and M2 macrophages; M1 macrophages release interleukin 6 (IL-6), Insulin growth factor type 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), while M2 macrophages mainly secrete IGF-1 ...

5. Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin-like_growth_factor...

   The insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptor is a protein found on the surface of human cells. It is a transmembrane receptor that is activated by a hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 and by a related hormone called IGF-2. It belongs to the large class of tyrosine kinase receptors. This receptor mediates the effects of IGF-1 ...

6. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin-like_growth_factor...

   IGF-1 binds to IGFBP-3 in a 1:1 molar ratio. IGF-BP also binds to IGF-1 inside the liver, allowing growth hormone to continuously act upon the liver to produce more IGF-1. IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) are proteins of 24 to 45 kDa. All six IGFBPs share 50% homology with each other and have binding affinities for IGF-I and IGF-II at the same ...

7. Carnitine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnitine

   L-Carnitine, acetyl-l-carnitine, and propionyl-l-carnitine are available in dietary supplement pills or powders, with a daily amount of 0.5 to 1 g considered to be safe. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] It is also a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat primary and certain secondary carnitine-deficiency syndromes secondary to inherited diseases .
