Abstract: | We examined the effects of age on the secretion of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, -II, and IGF binding protein-4, and -5 in long-term bone cell cultures from 71 female donors, aged 28-79 years. Our results suggest that under basal conditions, the intrinsic capacity of human bone cells to produce these IGF components is largely preserved with age. |
