A benchmark review on how specific nutrients or adverse nutritional
states impact the components of the IGF (Insulin-like Growth
Factor) system and affect human health and disease. The authors
describe the fundamentals of the IGF system, explain its basic
mechanisms of action, illuminate its essential role in physical
development across the life span, and highlight the link between
normal and abnormal cellular growth resulting in tumor formation.
They also fully examine the clinical aspects of nutrition and IGF,
from pre- and postnatal development through old age, in the
maintenance of normal metabolism, bone, and muscle health, and
their role in pathological states. Special attention is given to
critical illness, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, kidney
failure, endocrine dysfunctions, cardiovascular disease,
neurological disorders, and cancer, as well as to their potential
for IGF therapy.
