Insulin-like growth factor I, growth hormone and insulin in white adipose tissue

Abstract

Maturation of adipose tissue results from both the expansion of mature adipocytes and the formation of new adipocytes from adipocyte precursor cells. A variety of hormones related to adipogenesis have been identified recently. Both growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) are of major significance in adipocyte differentiation. IGF-I has been suggested to be a major regulator of cell proliferation, differentiation and metabolism, thus regulating, among other biological processes, adipose tissue growth and differentiation of pre-adipocytes into adipocytes. GH exerts its effects by increasing the pool of adipocyte precursor cells capable of differentiating into mature adipocytes. In addition, GH seems to have the potential to reduce the volume of mature adipocytes, thus inhibiting the expansion of adipose tissue and reducing body fat. This chapter gives an overview of studies that have investigated the roles of insulin, GH and IGF-I in adipogenesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
