C-peptide, insulin-like growth factors I and II, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 in umbilical cord serum: correlations with birth weight
J Verhaeghe, R Van Bree, E Van Herck… - American journal of …, 1993 - Elsevier
Objective: Our purpose was to determine the correlation between birth weight and hormones
or growth factors believed to be involved in fetal growth: insulin, insulin-like growth factors I
and II, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1. Study Design: Five hundred thirty-
eight cord serum samples were analyzed for insulin-like growth factor-l, insulin-like growth
factor-ll, C-peptide, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 by immunoassay.
Samples included all gestational ages in the third trimester and a large range of birth …
