In cultured smooth muscle cells, comparison of IGF-I with the analogs long-R3IGF-I and des(1-3)-IGF-I showed a facilitating effect of IGFBPs on the growth-stimulating activity of a high concentration of IGF-I in cell lines with high IGFBP-3.
In plain wordsIn cultured muscle cells, IGF-binding proteins helped a high dose of IGF-I stimulate growth when cells made a lot of IGFBP-3.

Incubation of SMC cultures with IGF-I and the IGF-I analogs long-R3IGF-I and des(1-3)-IGF-I, which have decreased affinity for IGFBPs, revealed a facilitating effect of IGFBPs on the growth-stimulating activity of a high concentration of IGF-I in cell lines with high IGFBP-3 levels.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
Here we investigate a possible modulating role of the binding proteins for the IGFs (IGFBPs) on the actions of IGFs.
In this study, IGF-1 LR3 was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking IGF-1 LR3.
