Research Abstract

The scarcity of somatomedin/insulin-like growth factor (SM/IGF) has prevented investigation of the mechanism of SM/IGF action. Recently insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) has been synthesized by recombinant DNA technology. With the availability of large quantities of the biosynthetic IGF-I, we undertook a study of biological effects of IGF-I in vivo in rats.
120 ug/day of IGF-I was administered continuously for 7 days via s.c. implanted osmotic minipump to hypophysectomized (hypox) and normal rats. The body weights and tibial epiphyseal widths after 7 day treatment of IGF-I in both hypox and normal rats were siginificantly greater than those for untreated rats. These data indicate that IGF-I stimulates growth in vivo not only in GH deficient rats but also in normal rats. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels in both hypox, normal, and diabetic rats treated with IGF-I were significantly lower than those for untrated rats, suggesting that IGF-I has anabolic action in vivo. IGF-I was administ … More ered to fasted rats for 3 days. The reduction of body weight in IGF-I treated rats was smaller than those in untreated fasted rats. The serum and urinary creatin, BUN, and urinary 3-methyl-histidine levels were smaller than those in untreated rats. These data suggest that IGF-I treatment in fasted rats may inhibit the catabolism. IGF-I (100 - 1000) ug/kg BW) was administered as iv bolus to normal and hypox rats. The blood glucose levels decreased after iv bolus injection of the peptide. The effect of IGF-I was 100 times less than that of insulin. Impaired glucose tolerance is often recognized in patients with acromegaly who have high GH levels and high IGF-I levels in plasma. It is not known how the high IGF-I levels plays a role in the glucose metabolism in patients with acromegaly. To understand the pathogenesis, glucose tolerance tests were carried out in ob/ob mice treated with or without IGF-I and hGH. In the mice treated with hGH, the blood glucose levels after administration of glucose were greater than those in untreated mice. However, in the mice treated with IGF-I, the blood glucose levels after glucose load were slightly lower than those in untreated mice. These data suggest that GH itself but not IGF-I may play a role in impaired glucose tolerance in patients with acromegaly.
This study demonstrates that IGF-I has growth promoting, anabolic and insulin-like effects in vivo. Less
