Insulin-Like Growth Factors

Le Roith, Derek·1997·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) participate in the growth and function of almost every organ in the body.1 Because of the wide range of their biologic effects and their therapeutic potential in a variety of clinical disorders, the IGFs have become the focus of research by an increasing number of investigators.24 The object of this seminar is to review the clinical aspects of the IGFs, including their potential therapeutic value, and to discuss briefly their structure, synthesis, regulation, and physiologic role.Basic Biochemistry and Physiologic FunctionsStructure and SynthesisThe three peptide hormones, or growth factors, in the IGF . . .

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.
