Acute Hormonal and Force Responses to Combined Strength and Endurance Loadings in Men and Women: The “Order Effect”
2013
Purpose To examine acute responses and recovery of serum hormones and muscle force following combined strength (S) and endurance (E) loading sessions in which the order of exercises is reversed (ES vs. SE). Methods This cross-over study design included recreationally endurance trained men and women (age 21–45 years, n = 12 men n = 10 women) who performed both loadings. Maximal bilateral isometric strength (MVC), isometric rate of force development (RFD) and serum concentrations of testosterone (T), cortisol (C), growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) were measured during and after both loadings.

Evaluation of IGF1 and IGFBP3 during diet therapy in patients affected by food allergy with complex nutritional risk
1996
The seric levels of IGF1 and IGFBP3 and their molar ratio, together with clinical and auxological parameters, have been evaluated in 16 patients (8 males and 8 females), of average age of 11.6±8.66 months, who were suffering from complex food allergy and were subjected to a balanced diet whill excluded the "offending" food. The results, compared "with those of a control population of same age and body surface, have showln a significative reduction of IGF1 and an increase of the molar ratio IGFBP3/IGF1. These observations suggest that, in spite of no significative variation of growth in height and weight, an exclusion diet for a food allergy can reduce the biological activity of some hormona…
