Caution against extrapolating avian findings to patients; extends evidence for local IGFBP synthesis in development.
Schoen et al. (1992) studied this question. Vitreal and serum IGFBP levels are independently regulated during avian development, with vitreal IGFBPs exhibiting unique molecular weights and glycosylation patterns suggesting local synthesis.
