Lower IGFBP1 in well-controlled IDDM girls may mark hepatic insulin sensitivity; cross-sectional data leave open its utility for glucose regulation assessment.
Does IGFBP1 reflect overall glucose regulation and insulinization in adolescent girls with IDDM?
IGFBP1 may serve as a marker of overall insulinization and hepatic insulin sensitivity in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, independent of absolute insulin dose.
Halldin et al. (2000) studied this question.
