Abstract
Despite marginal reductions in total IGF-I and -II, bioactive and free IGF-I declined markedly during and after HD. This is likely a consequence of the increase in IGFBP-1, sequestering free IGF-I, and reducing bioactive IGF-I. Based on the present data we hypothesize that the catabolism induced by HD is in part related to the observed reductions in bioactive IGF-I.
