We investigated the serum concentration of IGF-II in patients with thyroid diseases (25 with untreated Graves' patients, 30 with hypothyroidism, 23 with thyroid adenoma) and in 72 healthy adults as normal controls, by a sensitive radioimmunoassay of serum IGF-II. Thyroid hormones are known to increase IGF-I production in the liver through the enhancement of GH secretion. In case of IGF-II, however, knowledge has been rather limited. The mean +/- SD concentration in healthy subjects was 556 +/- 94 micrograms/L with neither sex nor age dependence. In untreated Graves' patients, serum IGF-II levels (675 +/- 129 micrograms/L) were significantly (P < 0.01) higher than in normal controls, and significantly lower in patients with hypothyroidism (460 +/- 106 micrograms/L; P < 0.01). Thyroid hormones revealed positive correlation with the IGF-II concentration.
我们通过一种灵敏的血清胰岛素样生长因子-II(IGF-II)放射免疫测定法,对甲状腺疾病患者(25例未经治疗的格雷夫斯病患者、30例甲状腺功能减退患者、23例甲状腺腺瘤患者)以及72名健康成年人作为正常对照进行了血清IGF-II浓度的研究。已知甲状腺激素可通过增强生长激素(GH)分泌来增加肝脏中IGF-I的产生。然而,对于IGF-II,相关知识相当有限。健康受试者的平均±标准差浓度为556±94微克/升,无性别和年龄依赖性。在未经治疗的格雷夫斯病患者中,血清IGF-II水平(675±129微克/升)显著高于正常对照(P<0.01),而在甲状腺功能减退患者中则显著降低(460±106微克/升;P<0.01)。甲状腺激素与IGF-II浓度呈正相关。
