Kaplieva, E. I. Surikova, I. V. Neskubina, Yu. A. Pogorelova, N. D. Cheryarina, P. S. Kachesova, L. A. Nemashkalova

“…In males, induced DM downregulated levels of glucose, IGF-II and IGFBP2 in the carcinoma by 8.4, 3.1 and 1.7 (p &lt; 0.05) times, respectively, and increased levels of IGF-I and IGFBP2 by 1.4 and 1.3 times (p &lt; 0.05) in the perifocal area without changing glucose levels; as a result, tumor volumes exceeded the values in the standard growth, without metastasizing into visceral organs.Conclusion. We revealed gender differences in changing levels of glucose and IGF both in the tumor and in it's perifocal tissue in rats with Guerin's carcinoma growing in presence of DM; these differences could determine different tumor growth dynamics in male and female rats.…”
