}In 10 bulls, changes in blood plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF1) were studied during rearing and during the ensuing growth period. IGF1 continuously increased from 32 micrograms/l at the age of 15 d to 194 micrograms/l at the age of 307 d together with body weight. However, IGF1 was not related to daily rate of gain, which remained fairly constant during the growth period. An age-dependent increase was also observed for blood levels of insulin, thyroxine and…

Insulin-like growth factor I responses to recombinant bovine growth hormone during feed restriction in heifers.
- Chemistry, MedicineActa endocrinologica

During insufficient energy and (or) protein intake, characterized by low glucose, insulin and thyroid hormone levels and increased non-esterified fatty acid concentrations, insulin-like growth factor I concentrations and responses to GH administration were markedly reduced.

Concentrations of testosterone, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 increase together, but probably independently, during the onset of puberty in male calves, similar to that reported for the control group.

Observations show that there are age-dependent changes in IGF-I and glucose concentrations (but not in those of other substances), and that IGF- I and glucose, in contrast with other substances, may be indicators or regulators of individual growth rates.
Immunoreactive insulin-like growth factor I and insulin in blood plasma and milk of mares and in blood plasma of foals.
- MedicineEquine veterinary journal

In mares and their foals, concentration of immunoreactive insulin-like growth factor I (iIGF-I) in plasma increased during late pregnancy, peaked 2 days after parturition, and then gradually declined until weaning, while colostrum iI and iI behaved similarly, in mares compared with dairy cows.

Dexa and colostrum feeding promoted maturation of the somatotropic axis and increased IGF-I mRNA levels only in formula-fed calves and increased hepatic GHR binding capacity, but only in Colostrum- fed calves.

Higher nutrient supply improved the functionality of the somatotropic axis and increased the concentration of anabolic hormones, allowing rapid muscle deposition in double-muscled Belgian Blue bulls, but animals underfed the longest period behaved differently from the other groups, possibly because they reached a more complete sexual maturity.

The somatotropic axis and insulin are involved in pre- and postnatal development. In pre- and full-term calves (GrP0 and GrN0; born after 277 and 290 d of pregnancy, respectively) and in preterm…
Seminal plasma insulin-like growth factor I and total protein concentration in peripubertal period of the Gyr bulls.

Seminal plasma total proteins are involved in peripubertal modifications and IGF-I from Zebus dairy bulls can influence the seminal characteristics and the growth factor increase occurs concomitantly with body growth but cannot be used to define puberty bulls earlier.

The increase of the IGF-1/BW ratio after treatment suggests that plasma IGF- 1 concentration may help to judge the outcome of chronic enteropathies in dogs.

It is reported that pure IGF I stimulates the growth of hypophysectomized rats in a dose-dependent manner, which strongly supports the notion that the action of growth hormone is mediated by peptides of the somatomedin family.

Results show that body weight is correlated with IGF I levels rather than with the GH secretory capacity, thus providing indirect evidence for IGF I as an important in vivo growth-promoting principle.
