The Insulin-Like Growth Factor System in Obesity, Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

???displayArticle.abstract???
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system, acting in concert with other hormone axes, is important in normal metabolism. In obesity, the hyperinsulinaemia that accompanies peripheral insulin resistance leads to reduced growth hormone (GH) secretion, while total IGF-I levels are relatively unchanged due to increased hepatic GH sensitivity. IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-1 levels are suppressed in relation to the increase in insulin levels in obesity and low levels predict the development of type 2 diabetes several years later. Visceral adiposity and hepatic steatosis, along with a chronic inflammation, contribute to the IGF system phenotype in individuals with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus, including changes in the normal inverse relationship between IGFBP-1 and insulin, with IGFBP-1 concentrations that are inappropriately normal or elevated. The IGF system is implicated in the vascular and other complications of these disorders and is therefore a potential therapeutic target.
Figure 1. Interaction between insulin and the insulin-like growth factor system. Inhibitory effects are shown in red and stimulatory effects, in green. GH = growth hormone; tIGF-I = total insulin-like growth factor-I (unbound and in ternary and binary complexes with IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs)); fIGF-I = free IGF-I; EAAs = essential amino acids.
Figure 2. Changing relationships between fasting IGFBP-1 and insulin concentrations, and bioavailable (free) IGF-I in tissues in peripheral and hepatic insulin resistance.
