IGF-I Bioactivity in an Elderly Population: Relation to Insulin Sensitivity, Insulin Levels, and the Metabolic Syndrome

OBJECTIVE: There is a complex relationship between IGF-I, IGF binding proteins, growth hormone, and insulin. The IGF-I kinase receptor activation assay (KIRA) is a novel method for measuring IGF-I bioactivity in human serum. We speculated that determination of IGF-I bioactivity might broaden our und...
