“…Similar to our findings, MacDonald et al 15 described normal serum IGF-I and IGFBP-3 in 17 MHD patients; however, muscle IGF-I was low in their patients, whereas we observed increased muscle IGF-I that rose further with exercise (Table 4). The low muscle IGF-I may have been due to the wasted state of their patients, as indicated by anthropometry and body composition measurements, whereas our patients did not seem wasted.…”

“…In this study diminished muscle levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (mIGF-I) were identified in our RA patients. This finding is consistent with reports of reduced mIGF-I levels in other conditions characterised by muscle wasting: chronic heart failure (CHF) (Hambrecht et al, 2005), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (Vogiatzis et al, 2007), chronic renal failure (Macdonald et al, 2004(Macdonald et al, , 2005, and advanced aging (Fiatarone Singh et al, 1999); and with the proposed role of mIGF-I in regulating the maintenance of adult skeletal muscle (Adams, 2002). Following 24 weeks PRT, along with muscle hypertrophy, mIGF-I levels were observed to increase 50% in our RA patients.…”

“…The increase in handgrip strength in the oxymetholonetreated group was consistent with the foregoing findings that suggest an increase in muscle mass. Muscle strength is usually directly correlated with muscle mass (22)(23)(24), and therefore, if muscle mass increased, one would expect there to be an increase in strength. Moreover, the oxymetholonetreated patients described an increase in physical performance on their SF-36 forms.…”
