Profile of Insulin, Growth Hormone and Insulin-like Growth Factors in Human Cord Blood According to Birth Weight
Hye Young Kim, Dae Yeol Lee, Soo Chul Cho
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1998;41(11):1484-1490.   Published online November 15, 1998
Purpose : Insulin-like growth factors(IGFs) are mitogenic peptides that are essential for fetal and maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. They circulate primarily with serum IGF-binding protein(IGFBP) which regulates the availability of IGFs to their specific target tissue. This study was performed to examine the relationships between birth weight and IGFs, insulin and growth hormone in the sera of cord blood...
