详细信息    查看全文
文摘

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been shown to compromise insulin signaling and oxidative capacity of mitochondrial electron transport chain.

In neurodegenerative diseases, it has been found a mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to an increase in oxidative stress.

The mere partial IGF-1 deficiency in animals is shown to produce mitochondrial dysfunction.

The administration of low doses of IGF-1 has beneficial effects: restores physiological IGF-1 levels and improves insulin resistance.

The administration of low doses of IGF-1 has hepatoprotective, neuroprotective and antioxidant effects and exherts mitocondrial protection.
