Specifically, for each unit of PA, ΔIGF-I increased by 9.7 (95% CI 1,1−18.4) ng/mL after full adjustment. This supports the notion that pre-stroke PA is independently related to ΔIGF-I.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 12:29:03 AEDT ]]> Growth hormone and neuronal hemoglobin in the brain-roles in neuroprotection and neurodegenerative diseases https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46328 Tue 15 Nov 2022 12:30:40 AEDT ]]> Association between levels of serum insulin-like growth factor I and functional recovery, mortality, and recurrent stroke at a 7-year follow-up https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38395 146.7 ng/ml). The s-IGF-I level was not associated with recurrent stroke (N=79) or death (N=44), although it correlated with recovery (r=0.12, P=0.035). In the regression analysis, s-IGF-I associated with recovery between 3 months and 7 years (but not between 2 and 7 years). The associations did not withstand adjustment for age and sex. For comparison, the corresponding associations between 3 months and 2 years withstood all adjustments. Conclusion: The association for s-IGF-I with long-term post-stroke recovery persists after 7 years, which is also reflected in the mRS score distributions at all time-points. The effects are however modest, and not driven by mortality or recurrent stroke.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:47:17 AEDT ]]>
