Influence of IGF-I serum concentration on muscular regeneration capacity in patients with sarcopenia

Abstract: Background Previous research has described a neuroprotective effect of IGF-I, supporting neuronal survival, axon growth and proliferation of muscle cells. Therefore, the association between IGF-I concentration, muscle histology and electrophysiological markers in a cohort of patients with sarcopenia dares investigation. Methods Measurement of serum concentrations of IGF-I and binding partners, electromyographic measurements with the MUNIX (Motor Un… Show more

“…Lower levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 expression in sarcopenia have been linked to muscle denervation, as well as poor neuronal regeneration. 22 This relationship carries clinical implications. Because DPN is a significant risk factor for foot ulcers, lower limb amputation and falls, current clinical practice suggests early screening for DPN in all patients with diabetes.…”

“…This method correlates well with MRI findings of whole-body muscle mass [ 84 ] and requires additional enhancement to be widely applied in the clinical setting. The incorporation of additional clinical measurements will also be important, such as ones borrowed from neuromuscular fields, including the number (MUNIX) and size (MUSIX) of motor neurons by electromyography which correlates with the degree of sarcopenia [ 85 , 86 ].…”

“…After eccentric exercise, the myofiber and the satellite cells upregulate the gene expression of IGF-I, resulting in greater production of IGF-I between 24–72 h post-exercise [ 38 ]. Furthermore, endocrine and autocrine as well as paracrine IGF mechanisms have been shown to mediate muscle development and repair, an early response critical in the regenerative process [ 39 , 40 , 41 ]. In line with this, our results revealed that for both treatments IGF-I in reached its peak value following 48 h post-exercise ( Figure 3 C).…”
