Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:We measured the total and nonphosphorylated insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-1 concentrations in obese children to determine the effect of obesity on the status of IGFBP-1 phosphorylation. We also measured the serum levels of insulin, total and free IGF-I, and IGFBP-3 to investigate their relationships to the IGFBP-1 phosphorylation status in obese subjects. SUBJECTS AND METHODS:Nineteen prepubertal obese and 15 age-matched control children were included in the study. The serum levels of total and nonphosphorylated IGFBP-1 were determined by noncompetitive RIAs. RESULTS:The serum levels of total and nonphosphorylated IGFBP-1 were significantly lower in the obese group (48.7+/-5.6 microgram/l, P<0.001 and 11.1+/-1.9 microgram/l, P<0.01 respectively) than in the controls (86.7+/-9.0 microgram/l and 28.8+/-6.2 microgram/l respectively). However, the ratio of nonphosphorylated IGFBP-1 to total IGFBP-1 did not differ significantly between the obese and control groups. The circulating free IGF-I level was significantly higher in the obese children than in the controls (P<0.05), while the serum levels of insulin, total IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were not significantly different between the two groups. A stepwise regression analysis of the combined group revealed that only the total IGFBP-1 level was an independent predictor of the free IGF-I concentration (P<0.001). CONCLUSION:The present study shows that both total and nonphosphorylated IGFBP-1 concentrations are decreased in obese children and the increased free IGF-I level in obese children is related to the reduced total IGFBP-1 level, but unrelated to the change in the IGFBP-1 phosphorylation status.
