1 Vitamin D modulates the association of circulating insulin-like growth factor-1 with carotid artery intima-media thickness. Vitamin D insulin like growth factor 1 Homo sapiens
2 Since vitamin D is also implicated in vascular protection and affects IGF-1 biology, we hypothesized that it would influence the effect of IGF-1 on IMT. Vitamin D insulin like growth factor 1 Homo sapiens
3 Since vitamin D is also implicated in vascular protection and affects IGF-1 biology, we hypothesized that it would influence the effect of IGF-1 on IMT. Vitamin D insulin like growth factor 1 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSIONS: Circulating IGF-1 is vasoprotective primarily when vitamin D levels are low. Vitamin D insulin like growth factor 1 Homo sapiens
