- Until now it has been difficult to determine the relative importance of locally produced (autocrine/paracrine) versus systemically derived (endocrine) insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in the intact organism. We recently eliminated IGF-I production in the livers of mice using the Cre/loxP recombination system. These mice displayed a reduction in serum IGF-I levels of more than 80%, but demonstrated normal body growth, suggesting that autocrine/paracrine-acting IGF-I, but not endocrine-acting IGF-I, regulates body growth. Long-term metabolic studies of mice in which IGF-I production had been inactivated in the liver, have shown that the mice have decreased fat mass, but increased serum levels of insulin and cholesterol. Despite the marked increase in plasma insulin following glucose administration, the glucose elimination was not altered in these animals. Thus, the mice showed an adequately compensated insulin resistance. In conclusion, liver-derived or endocrine IGF-I is not required for post-natal statural growth, but seems to be of vital importance for normal carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
