Autocrine mechanisms of action of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and hormonal regulation of expression of IGF-finding proteins in mammary epithelial cells

Limited information is available concerning the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate expression of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) genes in mammary epithelial cells. To test the hypothesis that IGF-I affects growth of bovine mammary epithelial cells...
