Example sentences for: insulin-like
How can you use “insulin-like” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
, which is responsive to polycyclic ligands present in environmental toxicants) in promoting apoptosis during fetal oogenesis has recently been identified in mice [ 43 44 ] . Prospective endocrine/paracrine modifiers (which are altered by nutritional regimen) of the fates of fetal germ cells include glucocorticoids, thyroid hormones, insulin, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factors, and leptin [ 1 45 ] .
Also of interest are genes that are upregulated in both the cancers, including IGFBP3 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3), which, interestingly, is thought to have proapoptotic activities [ 14 ] , and GSN (gelsolin), which has a role in cellular motility and acts as both a regulator and effector of apoptosis [ 15 ] . Further xenograft studies of the type presented here could examine the responses of the host tissue to the tumor (using a mouse microarray chip), as well as temporal changes in gene expression within the developing tumor.
Similarly, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (Hs.
CD26 is an ectoenzyme, which delivers a costimulatory signal in T-cells; its expression is upregulated on T-cells in response to mitogenic signals and downregulated through interaction with the insulin-like growth factor II receptor [ 16 ] . The consequence of CD26 loss is unclear; CD26 modulates the action of many molecules including the chemotactic activity of some chemokine important for T-cell migration to skin [ 17 18 ] .
LIF and CNTF stimulate muscle regeneration in vivo [ 62 63 ] , as do other growth factors; such as insulin-like growth factor [ 64 65 ] . The power of LIF to regenerate muscle is seen in dystrophin null mdx mice, where exogenous LIF regenerates atrophied diaphragm muscle [ 66 ] . LIF induced signaling appears to be essential in muscle development as seen by muscle atrophy in the absence of LIFR on E18.
