Studie: IGF-1 und Diabetes

  • Hallo,


    interessante Studie: IGF-1 senkt den Insulinbedarf

    IGF-1 = Insulinähnliche Wachstumsfaktoren, wird in der Leber gebildet, wird auch von Bodybuildern gern genommen.


    "These data increase our understanding of IGF-I action and
    indicate possible mechanisms responsible for the action of
    IGF-I on glucose and protein metabolism. The effects on
    insulin-mediated glucose uptake are associated with reduced
    NEFA levels, suggesting that enhanced insulin sensitivity
    occurs via the glucose-NEFA cycle and, in turn, is related to
    reductions in GH secretion. The effects of IGF-I on protein
    metabolism are known to be complex and are thought to
    involve intracellular phosphorylation of mitogen-activated
    protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, leading to
    increases in protein synthesis (43). The leucine kinetic data
    in this study provide evidence that, in addition to effects on
    intracellular signaling, IGF-I may regulate amino acid transport
    systems, thereby affecting delivery and utilization of
    amino acids. Thus, IGF-I has a dual role in increasing insulin
    action and sensitivity with respect to glucose and protein
    metabolism, with an additional role on protein metabolism in
    the basal non–insulin-stimulated state. Although further studies
    are necessary to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of
    IGF-I action, this in vivo study, which used a dose of IGF-I that
    increased the mean IGF-I concentration to the upper limit of
    the age-matched normal range, increases the understanding
    of how IGF-I regulates protein and glucose metabolism in
    type 1 diabetes"
