Improving physical function and mobility in a continuously expanding elderly population
emerges as a high priority of medicine today. Muscle mass, strength/power, and maximal …

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is an endocrine and autocrine/paracrine growth factor that
circulates at high levels in the plasma and is expressed in most cell types. IGF-1 has major …

The association between IGF‐1 levels and mortality in humans is complex with low levels
being associated with both low and high mortality. The present meta‐analysis investigates …

Insulin‐like growth factor I (IGF‐I) belongs to an ancient family of hormones already present
in early invertebrates. The insulin family is well characterized in mammals, although new …

Context: IGF-I plays a central role in metabolism and growth regulation. High IGF-I levels are
associated with increased cancer risk and low IGF-I levels with increased risk for …

Background—We have previously shown that systemic infusion of insulin-like growth factor-
1 (IGF-1) exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and reduces atherosclerotic …

Background Data about the effects of resistance exercise on level of IGF-1 in the serum are
conflicting. To resolve this inconsistency, we performed a systematic review and meta …

Secretion of growth hormone (GH) and IGF-1 levels decline during advancing years-of-life.
These changes (somatopause) are associated with loss of vitality, muscle mass, physical …
