Low Doses of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Induce Mitochondrial Protection in Aging Rats

Abstract: Serum IGF-I levels decline with age. We have recently reported that in aging rats the exogenous administration of IGF-I restores IGF-I circulating levels and age relatedchanges, improving glucose and lipid metabolisms, increasing testosterone levels and serum total antioxidant capability, and reducing oxidative damage in the brain and liver associated with a normalization of antioxidant enzyme activities. Understanding that mitochondria are one of the most important cellular targets of IGF-I, the aims of this … Show more

“…Mitochondria are important cellular targets of IGF-I [5,6], different groups have described that IGF-I decreases mitochondrial superoxide production [37] and low levels of IGF-I have been linked to increase in oxidative stress damage [3,5,[40][41][42]. IGF-I also acts as an anti-apoptosis factor of multiple cell types, and its anti-apoptotic effects occur through engagement with IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) and thought to activate an intracellular signal transduction pathway that may modulate the mitochondria, cytochrome c and caspase pathway [38,39].…”

Recent studies show that treatment of aged rodents with IGF-I confer mitochondrial protection, including an attenuation of mitochondrial ROS generation in the liver [40][41][42]. The available data suggest that treatments that increase circulating IGF-I levels exert citoprotective effects in aging and degenerative diseases [1-3, 5-7, 42].…”
