We measured fasting serum total (extractable) IGF-I in 553 patients in a controlled clinical trial.
Half of the patients received continuous subcutaneous infusion of the somatostatin analogue lanreotide from the day before (baseline) and for 4 days after PTCA.
We also measured ultrafiltrated serum free IGF-I and IGF-II, total IGF-II, IGF-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1), IGFBP-3, and insulin in a subgroup of 18 placebo-treated and 20 lanreotide-treated patients.
