Multiplex PCR for the rapid detection of insulin-like growth factor in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas: a useful indicator for growth assessment

Expression of insulin‐like growth factor genes in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, fed a diet with partial replacement of dietary fish meal

“…Many other tissues also produce IGF‐I locally, such as brain, muscle, and other organs (Moriyama et al, 2000). GH regulates IGF‐I in blood and tissue, and IGF‐I peptide and mRNA expression in response to varying nutritional conditions and season (Choi et al, 2018; Moon & Choi, 2018; Schmid et al, 2003). However, further research is required to clarify cause–effect relationships.…”
