Deficient insulin-like growth factor I in chronic heart failure predicts altered body composition, anabolic deficiency, cytokine and neurohormonal activation

Abstract: Patients with low insulin-like growth factor I levels show signs of altered body composition, cytokine and neuroendocrine activation, to a greater extent than patients with normal/high levels.

“…25,26 Niebauer et al detected relatively high circulating concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-, epinephrine and norepinephrine in chronic heart failure patients whose IGF-1 levels were low. 27 Other previous studies have also shown increased circulating concentrations of various inflammatory cytokines in patients with CHF. 28 In the present study, the circulating concentration of IGFBP-1 was increased and that of IGF-1 decreased in patients with HF-HCM, and the IGFBP-1 elevation may have been induced by an increase in inflammatory cytokines and epinephrine.…”

“…However, we found no association between low total IGF-I level and CHF. Prior studies have linked changes in circulating IGF-I with onset and progression of CHF (24,44,45). Among patients with obstructive or non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, IGF-I increases prior to the onset of CHF, and then decreases below control levels after CHF onset (24).…”

“…Thus, IGF-I has been found to be positively associated with progression of coronary artery stenosis and restenosis (8,9) and coronary artery disease (12). Heart failure has been found to be associated with low IGF-I (13)(14)(15)(16). In some studies on patients with heart failure, positive effects of GH or IGF-I on cardiac function have been found (17,18), whereas these effects could not be reproduced in other studies (19,20).…”
