“…1) as has been previously reported in this latter group [23,27,36], Bang et al [37] have recently reported that basal immunoreactive IGFBP-3 levels in type 2 diabetic patients do not differ from those measured in healthy obese and non-obese subjects. The discrepancy between our data and theirs may only be apparent and ascribed to differences in the respective protocols.…”

Relationship between non-enzymatic glycosylation and changes in serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and IGF-binding protein-3 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

The possible occurrence of increased non-enzymatic glycosylation of serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in vivo and the changes that would simultaneously occur in serum levels of IGFBP-3 and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) were investigated. We measured levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 and the degree of glycation of total serum protein and IGFBP-3, in serum samples obtained from patients with poorly controlled noninsulin-dependent diabetes (type 2) and from age-matched non-diabetic controls. Type 2 diabetic patients had significantly higher glycated serum protein (GlyP) levels. GlyP significantly correlated with age in the control (r = 0.315, P < 0.05) but not in the type 2 diabetes group. Control and diabetic subjects had comparable serum IGF-I levels and in both groups IGF-I levels tended to decrease with age (r = -0.567, P < 0.001 and r = -0.465, P < 0.05 for control and type 2 diabetic subjects, respectively). In the type 2 diabetes group, IGF-I levels showed a negative correlation with serum GlyP values (r = -0.476, P < 0.05). Type 2 diabetic and control patients had comparable serum IGFBP-3 levels, which were significantly higher in diabetic patients in the older age subgroups. A negative correlation was found between IGFBP-3 levels and age in the control (r = -0.705, P < 0.001) and in the type 2 diabetes groups (r = -0.463, P < 0.05). A significant negative correlation was found between IGFBP-3 levels and GlyP in control (r = -0.449, P < 0.002) but not in type 2 diabetic subjects. The mean glycated IGFBP-3 (GlyIGFBP-3) levels were higher in the oldest type 2 diabetic patients. In these patients, GlyIGFBP-3 was negatively associated with IGF-I levels (r = -0.447, P < 0.05). The IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio was significantly reduced in the 46-60-year-old type 2 diabetic group, whereas the IGF-I/IGFBP-3 ratio was positively and significantly correlated with GlyP levels only in the control group (r = 0.489, P < 0.01). Our results show that: a) increased non-enzymatic glycosylation of IGFBP-3 occurs in vivo; and b) this effect is accompanied by an increase in IGFBP-3 levels. These results suggest that the IGF-I/IGFBP-3 system is another target for the metabolic derangements of type 2 diabetes. Its alterations might play a role in diabetic complications.

“…It is well known that nutritional status effects IGF-I levels more than IGFBP-3 levels (Baxter and Martin, 1986;Thissen et al, 1994). Low IGF-I levels were observed in chronic disease and malnutrition whereas IGFBP-3 remains relatively unchanged (Baxter and Martin, 1986;Thissen et al, 1994;Underwood et al, 1994).…”

The effect of economic status on height, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and IGF binding protein-3 concentrations in healthy Turkish children

Objectives: The effect of economic status (ES) on growth, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 in healthy children is not well characterized. We aimed to study the interrelationship between height, weight, IGF-I, IGFBP-3, mid-parental height (MPH) and ES. Design/subjects: Eight hundred and fourteen healthy children (428 boys, 386 girls; age 3-18 years) were classified according to income of the families as low, middle and high. Standard deviation scores (SDSs) of height, weight, MPH, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were compared between the groups. The combined effect of these parameters and ES on height SDS was investigated with complex statistical models. Results: There was a significant trend for height and weight SDSs to increase with higher income levels in boys, but not in girls. Body mass index (BMI) SDSs were similar in three groups. There was a general trend for MPH SDS to increase with income levels in both sexes. In boys, IGF-I SDS was significantly higher in high ES group than low ES. In girls, IGFBP-3 SDSs were significantly higher in high ES group than in middle ES group. For both genders, height SDS was highly correlated with weight SDS and moderately correlated with BMI SDS, MPH SDS and IGF-1 SDS. All correlations were significant and positive. Complex models showed that MPH (19%), IGF-I (13%) and ES (3%) in boys, and MPH (16%) and IGF-I (7%) in girls have significant contribution to height SDSs. Conclusions: ES per se, independent of overt malnutrition, affects height, weight, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 with some gender differences in healthy children. Influence of income on height and weight show sexual dimorphism, a slight but significant effect is observed only in boys. MPH is the most prominent variable effecting height in healthy children. Higher height and MPH SDSs observed in higher income groups suggest that secular trend in growth still exists, at least in boys, in a country of favorable economic development.

“…Sera were assayed for immunoreactive IGFBP-3 and ALS as described previously (13,14). The lower limit of detection of IGFBP-3 was 0.1 mg/l and that of ALS was 0.25 mg/l; the intra-and interassay coefficients of variation (CV) for IGFBP-3 were 6.2% and 11.9% (13) respectively, and those for ALS were 3.4% and 10.5% respectively (14).…”

A minority of patients with Laron syndrome have normal serum GH binding protein (GHBP), indicating that the defect is elsewhere than in the extracellular domain of the GH receptor. We have evaluated the effect of long-term IGF-I treatment on serum IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 and the acid-labile subunit (ALS) in three siblings with Laron syndrome caused by a GH post-receptor defect and with normal GHBP. The children (a boy aged 3 years, a girl aged 4 years and a boy aged 10 years) were treated by daily s.c. injection of IGF-I in a dose of 150 mg/kg. IGFBP-3 was measured by RIA and Western ligand blotting, ALS by RIA. Basal values of IGFBP-3 and ALS were low. During IGF-I treatment, the IGFBP-3 concentrations in the girl gradually increased, whereas in the boys there was a 60% decrease during the first week, followed by gradual increase towards baseline. The ALS concentrations followed a similar pattern. We conclude that IGF-I treatment induces an initial suppression and then an increase in the IGFBP-3 and ALS concentrations, confirming data from animal experiments that IGFBP-3 synthesis is not solely under GH control. The differences in responsiveness between the female and male siblings may reflect genetic differences, or lower circulating concentrations of IGF-I in the boys compared with the girl.
