Title: Novel genes expressed in the pancreatic islets and regulated by IGF-IInsulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is mainly produced by hepatocytes and other tissues including pancreas at lower level. Acting through its receptor, IGF-IR, it promotes embryonic development, postnatal growth and maturation of major organ systems. To evaluate the effects of increased IGF-I level on islet growth and glucose homeostasis, our lab previously characterized MT-IGF mice which over express IGF-I gene under the metallothionine I promoter and found that its expression was highly concentrated to β-cells. IGF-I overexpression led to a significant hypoglycemia in fasted animals, hypoinsulinemia and improved glucose tolerance. Moreover, MT-IGF-I mice were signi...
