DOI: 10.1007/s42000-021-00281-7
Abstract: Transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) is the cornerstone of acromegaly treatment. Two biochemical parameters, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels, sometimes diverge postoperatively; however, it is important to maintain disease control without further treatment,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ctg.2016.72
Abstract: Objectives:The mechanisms responsible for the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and progression to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are incompletely understood. Growing evidence suggests that growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) may have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41366-021-01051-6
Abstract: According to studies, there are many inconsistencies in how IGF-1 levels change after bariatric surgery compared to before surgery, as well as its effects. These discrepancies can be attributed to various factors such as age,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000020840
Abstract: Abstract Osteoporosis is reported to be common among Saudi women. Several minerals appear to be important determinants of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), the bioactivity of which regulates bone and mineral metabolism. Here we proposed that… read more here.
