BackgroundInsulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I) is essential for perinatal growth and development; low serum IGF‐I has been observed during intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). We investigated the effects of recombinant human (rh) IGF‐I in IUGR rats during the early postnatal period.MethodsIntrauterine growth restriction was induced by bilateral uterine artery ligation in pregnant rats. IUGR pups were divided into two groups injected daily with rhIGF‐I (2 mg/kg; IUGR/IGF‐I, n = 16) or saline (IUGR/physiologic saline solution (PSS), n = 16) from postnatal day (PND) 7 to 13. Maternal sham‐operated pups injected with saline were used as controls (control, n = 16). Serum IGF‐I and IGF binding proteins (IGFBP) 3 and 5 were measured on PND25. The expression ofIgf‐i, IGF‐I receptor (Igf‐ir),Igfbp3, and5mRNA in the liver and brain was measured using real‐time polymerase chain reaction on PND25. Immunohistochemical staining of the liver for IGF expression was performed.ResultsMean bodyweight on PND3 and PND25 in the IUGR pups (IUGR/IGF‐I and IUGR/PSS) was significantly lower than that of the control pups. Serum IGF‐I and hepaticIgf‐irmRNA in the IUGR pups were significantly lower than those in the control pups. In the IUGR/IGF‐I group, hepaticIgfbp3mRNA and liver immunohistochemical staining were increased. In the IUGR/PSS and control pups, there were no significant differences between these two groups in serum IGFBP3 and IGFBP5, hepaticIgf‐iandIgfbp‐5mRNA, or brainIgfmRNA.ConclusionsNo benefits on body and brain weight gain but an effective increase in hepatic IGFBP‐3 was observed after treatment with 2 mg/kg rhIGF‐I during the early postnatal period.
