Sheep recombinant IGF-1 promotes organ-specific growth in fetal sheep

IGF-1 is a critical fetal growth-promoting hormone. Experimental infusion of an IGF-1 analog, human recombinant LR3 IGF-1, into late gestation fetal sheep increased fetal organ growth and skeletal muscle myoblast proliferation. However, LR3 IGF-1 has a low affinity for IGF binding proteins (IGFBP),...
