Assuming chimpanzee IGF-1 levels peak during puberty as in humans, we randomly defined puberty as the age at which most IGF-1 levels were equal to or above the 90th percentile for each sex (males, ages \u22657.00 but &amp;lt;9.20 years; females, \u22655.00 but &amp;lt;8.00 years). IGF-1 levels steadily increased at a similar rate in juvenile males and females and peaked in puberty, strongly correlating with age, then slowly decreased faster in adult males than in adult females. As a group, males had a higher mean IGF-1 level than did females, but comparison by age category showed similar mean IGF-1 levels in males and females. PRL levels increased with age in females more than in males and levels were twice as high in females than in males. One pubertal male reported to have short stature had lower IGF-1 and weight compared with other males in the age group, confirming suspected growth hormone deficiency; a second male of normal height but low IGF-1 may have had delayed puberty. Overall, results show that differences in IGF-1 levels over the lifespan in this cohort of chimpanzees largely mimic those seen in humans, while patterns of PRL changes are less similar.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jendso\/bvab063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,7]],"date-time":"2021-04-07T04:18:01Z","timestamp":1617769081000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Insulin-like
