Brief summary: Growth Hormone (GH)-Insulin-Growth-Factor-1 (IGF-1) axis plays the major role in promoting growth, but novel factors seem to modulate GH-IGF1 axis functioning. The majority of circulating IGF-1 and IGF-2 are bound to IGF-binding proteins (IGF-BPs) which prolong their half-life and regulate their tissue distribution (1,2). Pappalysins (PAPP-A, PAPP-A2) increase IGF-1 bioavailability through cleavage of IGFBPs and are inhibited by stanniocalcins (STC1, STC2) (3,4)...

To read the full abstract: J Am Soc Nephrol. 2017 Aug;28(8):2529-2539The association of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) and polycystic kidneys has not been reported before. Here, the authors studied 17 patients from 11 different families and found that all patients had a combination HH and polycystic kidneys. The HH was mild and some patients required diazoxide therapy. In contrast the poly...
