“…Transgenic mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of IGF-1 display reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, lessened ventricular wall stress, and chamber dilatation after myocardial infarction or during aging (13-15), indicating a critical role of this essential cardiac survival factor in the maintenance of cardiac morphology and function. It has been shown that circulating IGF-1 levels are drastically reduced in patients with sepsis, which is in line with the beneficial role of IGF-1 supplementation on the overall survival rate in sepsis, possibly via a facilitated hepatic bacterial clearance and improved cellular immune response (16, 17). However, little is known with regards to the impact of IGF-1 on sepsis-induced cardiac contractile dysfunction.…”

“…Serum levels of IL-6 were assayed with a high sensitivity enzyme-linked immunoassay kit (R&D Systems, Inc., MN). IL-6, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, and IGF-1, a stimulator of systemic cell growth, have both been used in prior studies of allostatic load, and are both considered correlates of immune status [32]. IGF-1 is thought to play a role in resistance to oxidative stress [33], is crucial in the neurogenesis process [34], and has been used previously in studies of allostatic load [35].…”

“…However, both studies found that RA at concentrations from 10 À8 to 10 À6 M induced the inhibition of cell viability. IGF-I is an important survival hormone that is known to inhibit apoptosis in various cell types [35,36]. We found that RA decreased IGF-I secretion and synthesis, which is analogous to the decrease in cell viability with increasing RA concentration, with opposite results for PKC-d activity.…”
