摘要: Serum insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) was characterized by radioimmunoassay and Western immunoblot in 44 patients with non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH). 31 of NICTH had big IGF-II sera. When the presence tumors from 20 investigated, detected 18 these In two whose did not contain IGF-II, sera detected. six tumors, disappeared decreased after successful removal tumors. These data indicate that could be related to hypoglycemia, increased serum suggests IGF-II-producing NICTH. levels were greater than those 13 without it (Mean±SEM: 723±54 vs. 326±31ng/ml), but elevated found only patients. IGF-I low all lower also low. IGF-II/IGF-I ratios (35.0±2.2 11.5 ±2.4). The present are rare NICTH, ratio useful for screening
