Insulin-Like Growth Factors and Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Children

Abstract: Background/Aims: Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is related to cardiometabolic risk in adults, whereas the metabolic role of IGF-II is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess IGFs in obese children and correlate them with metabolic syndrome (MetS) components. Methods: This is a retrospective study including 574 obese children (11.34 ± 3.16 years). All subjects underwent complete anthropometry and biochemical assessment. In a subgroup of 136 subjects, body composition was evaluated. IGF-I was measured i… Show more

“…IGF system has been associated with metabolism and metabolic parameters. Specifically, IGF-I levels have been related with cardiometabolic risk markers both in children and adults [50], and IGF2 polymorphisms have been related to body weight, insulin sensitivity, fat-free mass, lipid profile, and blood pressure [51]. The results of this study show no differences in IGF system as well as no correlation of IGFs with both anthropometric and metabolic parameters.…”

“…20 Es importante señalar que el síndrome metabólico en población infantil no se puede medir con facilidad debido a la falta de estándares claros y valores universales para ese grupo de edad, situación que no se observa en adultos para quienes se cuenta con criterios definidos. 4,5 Por lo anterior, actuar en poblaciones en edades tempranas sobre el conocimiento de nutrimentos y la composición de una dieta correcta, podría ayudar a sacar a la población de un contexto de consumismo alimentario. 21 En la actualidad, la prevalencia del síndrome metabólico se ha incrementado en la población y como se hace evidente en los diversos estudios, evitarlo es posible con adecuaciones en los estilos de vida.…”

“…Los factores de crecimiento similares a la insulina (IGF) están involucrados en la regulación de las vías metabólicas y ejercen sus efectos sobre el sistema cardiovascular. 5 En la infancia, el IGF-I se ha relacionado con marcadores de riesgo cardiovascular en adolescentes con obesidad, sin diabetes y se encontraron niveles bajos de IGF-I en niños chinos con obesidad con niveles bajos de colesterol de lipoproteína de alta densidad (HDLc). 5 Las corrientes de investigación actuales sobre síndrome metabólico infantil presentan profundo interés en la prospectiva de diferentes factores de riesgo, basados en la teoría de que las circunstancias de la vida temprana pueden influir en el riesgo de enfermedad metabólica posterior, por ejemplo, desde la infancia empezamos a acumular lípidos en los vasos sanguíneos, fenómeno conocido como ateroesclerosis, que algún día se manifestará como enfermedades cardiovasculares.…”

“…Insulin-like growth factor binding indicates that insulin-like growth factors bind insulin-like growth factor systems to exert their biological effects. Insulin-like growth factors are involved in the regulation of metabolic pathways 53 and insulin sensitivity. 54 Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), a transmembrane receptor, belongs to the receptor tyrosine kinase family, 55 which has been shown to increase the sensitivity of the liver and muscle to insulin and to improve the ability of insulin to mediate physiological functions that protect against type 2 diabetes.…”
