abstract：:The regulation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-4 proteolytic degradation by insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) has been largely studied in vitro, but not in vivo. The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of IGFs, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, and IGFBP-3 proteolytic fragments in the regulatio...
