Association of serum free IGF-1 and IGFBP-1 with insulin sensitivity in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)

Aim and Background: Free IGF-1 and IGFBP-1 are associated with obesity which is one of the major features of insulin resistance. But very few studies exist on free IGF-1 and IGFBP-1 in IGT subjects. The present study was undertaken to investigate the association of free IGF-1 and IGFBP-1 with insulin sensitivity in IGT subjects. Subjects and Methods: Ninety-one subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were studied along with age- sex- and...
