Insulin-like growth factors in chick embryo retina during development.

1996

Evidence exists supporting an important role for insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) during fetal growth. In the present report we performed studies to define whether developing chick retina contains IGFs and whether IGFs play a role in the growth of this tissue. We have shown that both IGF-I and IGF-II are present in chick embryo retina throughout development (7th-18th day). The highest values, when expressed as ng/g of tissue, were found in the youngest retinas studied (7th-9th day) and at 16th-18th day of development. During whole development the content of IGF-II was about two to three times higher than that ascertained for IGF-I. The tissue also contains cell-surface binding for IGFs. H…
