[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 58071, member: 3"] Give me a few days. Checking what kind of deal I can get. From Labcorp: " The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays a critical role in the growth and differentiation of normal and malignant cells. The components of the IGF system include growth hormone (GH), IGF-I and II, type I and II receptors, IGF binding proteins and proteases. IGF binding proteins were first identified for their high affinity interactions with IGF-I and IGF-II.2 IGFBP-3 is the most abundant IGFBP species in circulation and binds 75% to 90% of circulating IGF-I in a ternary complex consisting of IGFBP-3, IGF-I and acid-labile subunit (ALS).
