“…IGF-I is a mitogen that regulates cell proliferation and also inhibits apoptosis (4). The bioavailability of IGF-I in the circulation and tissues is tightly regulated by IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) that bind IGF-I with high affinity and specificity (5).…”

“…However, a growing body of evidence suggests that serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) levels may play a role in prostate cancer risk and/or severity (5,6). Previous findings relating circulating levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 to prostate cancer risk and severity have been intriguing, although not entirely consistent (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). Of note, a positive association between increased IGF-1 levels and prostate cancer was found in three prospective studies (12)(13)(14).…”
