Brain IGF-1 Receptors Control Mammalian Growth and Lifespan through a Neuroendocrine Mechanism
Mutations that decrease insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and growth hormone signaling limit body size and prolong lifespan in mice. In vertebrates, these somatotropic hormones are controlled by the neuroendocrine brain. Hormone-like regulations discovered in nematodes and flies suggest that IGF sign...
