Mecasermin  (Synonyms: Human IGF-I; FK 780)

Mecasermin (Human IGF-I; FK 780) is a recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Mecasermin has the potential for the study of the growth failure of growth hormone (GH) insensitivity caused by GH receptor defects or GH-inhibiting antibodies^[1].

Mecasermin (rhIGF1; 0.25 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 6 weeks) increases IGF1 concentration in serum to near-normal levels and ameliorates a wide range of phenotypes, including organismal and behavioral function, synaptic and circuit plasticity, neuronal structure, and molecular signaling pathways^[2].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
