Purpose : The insulin like growth factors (IGFs) circulate complexed to IGF-binding
proteins(IGFBPs). IGFBP-3 is the major circulating IGFBP and is found primarily as a
150 kDa complex which contains an acid labile subunit(ALS), IGFBP-3, and IGF-I or
IGF-II and is considered to be growth hormone(GH) dependent. In this study, we
measured serum IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and 150 kDa levels in sera of growth hormone... |
