Circulating levels of human insulin‐like growth factor binding protein‐6 (IGFBP‐6) in health and disease as determined by radioimmunoassay

Abstract: Measurements of IGFBP-6 have been shown so far to be of relatively minor clinical relevance. The exceptions are chronic renal failure patients and subjects with large tumours and non-islet cell tumour induced hypoglycaemia who may exhibit elevated circulating levels of this IGFBP. The physiological significance of this observation remains to be elucidated. The possibility of quantifying IGFBP-6 by specific RIA will facilitate further in vitro and in vivo studies of its regulation and function in man.

“…The data from our animal models of aging and Dox treatment support this biomarker argument. With plasma samples in human studies, a gradual increase in the level of IGFBP-6 up to 2-fold has been documented with increasing age (45). Consistent with this finding, we detected an increased level of IGFBP-6 in the plasma of aged mice.…”

“…Since IGFBP-6 has a high affinity for IGF-II, the rise in IGFBP-6 may partly explain the increase in IGF-II in cohort 2 after treatment (34,47). Our data do not support a role for oestrogens as a cause for the lower IGFBP-6 levels in females than in males (41).…”
