Challenges prior view of GH-independent IGFBP-1 regulation in rats; leaves open relevance to human GH-IGF physiology.
This study demonstrates that hepatic IGFBP-1 expression is inversely regulated by growth hormone in rats, challenging the previous notion that it is GH-independent.
Seneviratne et al. (1990) studied this question.
