TL;DR: In vitro IGF-I has been shown to stimulate the proliferation of neuron progenitors and/or the survival of neurons and oligodendrocytes, and in some cultured neurons, to stimulate function and in vivo studies indicate that IGF- I can influence the development of most, if not all, brain regions.

TL;DR: The majority of young infants diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency present with seizures, have low dietary vitamin D intake, and mothers with poor vitamin D reserves, and Evaluation of vitamin D status should be included into the workup of hypocalcemia in early infancy.

TL;DR: The data show that IGF-I exerts anti-apoptotic actions during cerebellar development, and thereby alters the magnitude of naturally occurring apoptosis, and appears to affect multiple steps in the apoptotic pathway in a developmentally specific manner.

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to determine if CGMS use improves metabolic control in children with T1DM.

TL;DR: Observations indicate that IGF-I enhances neuronal growth in developing sensory pathways and support the concept that modified availability of local trophic factors changes brain, neocortical, and S1 relative dimensions by altering neuronal survival and neuropil elaboration.
